Astronomy Friday – The Leo Triplet
Messier 65, Messier 66, and NGC 3628 make up the famed Leo galaxy triplet. In the top photo, Messier 65 is below Messier 66, which is thought to display some features of prior gravitational interaction with NGC 3628. NGC 3628 is in the photo below and is understandably also known as the Hamburger galaxy.
