Focus on moving slowly and allowing students to notice details and ask questions about the images. It's not about guessing or jumping to hypotheses! It's about wondering. (I recommend setting the Google Slides to *fullscreen* first!)

You’re looking at Messier Object 104 or the Sombrero Galaxy! The strange looking ring is called a Dust Lane! And it’s a cloud of, yep, interstellar dust – the very stuff that combines to create stars and planets. The Sombrero Galaxy was first spotted way back in 1781, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that scientists demonstrated that there’s a, ready for it, supermassive black hole in the center. The Sombrero Galaxy is big and bright enough that you can see it through binoculars, although you’ll need a telescope to make out the features. Here’s an amateur photo taken by Carsten Frenzl using a telescope. Of course, the Hubble Telescope shows much more detail! Read more about the Sombrero Galaxy, dust lanes, supermassive black holes, or Messier Objects!
