Summary
editDescriptionM66 (noao-m66hapeman).tiff |
English: M66 is a distorted spiral galaxy in the constellation of Leo. It is being tugged on by its nearby neighbors M65 and NGC 3628. In fact, the arms of this galaxy appear to rise above the main disk. The many bright blue and pink regions indicate the active star forming regions. M66 is estimated to be 35 million light years away. To see another Trio of galaxies in a single field of view (since they are farther away) visit NGC 3190.This image was taken as part of Advanced Observing Program (AOP) program at Kitt Peak Visitor Center during 2014. |
