	Sombrero Island - Sombrero Information Services Ltd
		Sombrero is the northernmost islet in the Lesser Antilles.
		However, Sombrero is also important for the endemic fl lizard (Ameiva corvina) and for the bird life which contribute richly to Anguilla’s biodiversity.
		Sombrero’s high biological value is due to a number of features such as its isolation; its relative lack of human contact; its unique geographic location in relation to migratory routes, wind and current regimes; its special nesting and breeding conditions and its high probability of unique species.

	Sombrero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sombreros usually have a somewhat high tip and a very wide brim, used for protection from the sun.
		The word likely derives from the Spanish word sombra, meaning "shade" or "shadow." The English word "sombrero" is a loan word from Spanish, where the term is used to refer to any hat with a brim.
		Various functions and distributions encountered in mathematics and the physical sciences show a peak within a depression when plotted, and are thus referred to as a "Mexican hat" by analogy with the shape of a sombrero.

	What is a Sombrero?
		The Mexican sombrero weaves brightly colored patterns into a wide-brimmed hat made of straw, felt, or velvet; they are designed to protect the wearer from sunlight on long days of desert work.
		A sombrero has a slightly pointed shape in the center of the hat surrounded by a very wide brim that might be slightly upturned at the edge.
		Depending on the occupation and economic position of the wearer, the sombrero may signify the most famous guitarist in a mariachi band, or the poorest farmer tending to his fields twelve hours a day.

		El sombrero vueltiao se distingue, precisamente, por la armoniosa combinación de fibras blancas y negras dando origen a figuras de carácter geométrico llamdas "pintas", que simbolizan elementos religiosos y totémicos de la milenaria cultura Zenú.
		La trenza del sombrero se originó hace muchos siglos en las labores de cestería aborigen y la materia prima con la que se confecciona es la "caña flecha", planta autóctona de la que en varias partes de Córdoba hay cultivos de cientos de hectáreas.
		El hombre avispao, dinámico, despierto, usa el sombrero con el frente en alto hacia un lado, como queriendo decir "dispuesto para lo que sea"; el hombre enamorado levanta ambas alas de los lados del sombrero, hay quienes cuando el sombrero pierde la erección de las alas las cosen para que permanezcan levantadas indicando juventud, energía.

		This picture was taken by Adam Block and Morris Wade using a 20 inch, f/8 RCOS Ritchey-Chretien telescope and a three mega-pixel SBIG astronomical camera at the Kitt Peak National Observatory Visitor Center outside of Tucson, Arizona.

		However, Charles Messier added it by hand to his personal copy on May 11, 1781, and described it as a "very faint nebula." It was Camille Flammarion who found that its position coincided with Herschel's H I.43, which is the Sombrero Galaxy (NGC 4594), and added it to the official Messier list in 1921.
		This object is also mentioned by Pierre Méchain as his discovery in his letter of May 6, 1783.
		According to de Vaucouleurs, we view it from just 6 degrees south of its equatorial plane, which is outlined by a rather thick dark rim of obscuring dust.
