Sideways Galaxy NGC 3628

COSMIC MESSAGE
Dark dust lanes cut across the middle of NGC 3628, a spiral galaxy seen sideways. About 35 million light-years away in Leo, it is the only member of the Leo triplet not in Messier's catalog. Similar in size to our Milky Way, NGC 3628's disk fans out near its edges, and a faint arm of material stretches from it.
