“Edge-on NGC 3628” is copyrighted by Stephen Leshin. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteNGC 3628 is an edge-on spiral galaxy, about 100,000 light-years across and 35 million light-years away in Leo. Its puffy galactic disk is divided by dark dust lanes, giving it the nickname "The Hamburger Galaxy." NGC 3628 is part of the Leo Triplet, a group of three large spirals. Gravitational interactions with its neighbors have likely influenced its distinctive shape and dust lanes.
