NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Unusual Spiral Galaxy M66” is copyrighted by Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

Spiral galaxy M66 is not symmetric, likely due to the tidal gravitational pull of its neighbor, M65. Its spiral arms are uneven, and its nucleus appears displaced. M66 spans about 100,000 light-years and is 35 million light-years distant. It is the largest galaxy in a group that also includes M65.
