It owes that name to its resemblance to M104, the Sombrero Galaxy, and the Caldwell catalogue lists it as number 43. The average of 20 independent redshift measurements puts it about 53.9 million light-years away. In the photo, its bright bulge and the spindle of its disc stand out clearly, but the dust in that thin disc cannot be made out at this scale.
