This ring is the size of a galaxy!! It's the Sombrero Galaxy... LOVE IT!!! Hola Senior Galaxcio, te amo! It's in the Virgo Cluster of galaxies and it's one of the largest galaxies in that cluster. The band of dark dust that blankets the mid section is only viable in optical light and its the infrared light that makes the middle glow brightly. So here they took a Spitzers infrared pic and superposed in false-color on an existing Hubble pic it actually glows brightly! actually glows really brightly in infrared light.
