“Portrait of NGC 3628” is copyrighted by Stefano Cancelli. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteSharp views of NGC 3628 show a puffy galactic disk divided by dark dust lanes. This edge-on spiral galaxy is sometimes called the Hamburger Galaxy. The image also reveals a small nearby galaxy, likely a satellite of NGC 3628, and a faint tidal tail. This tail stretches for about 300,000 light-years, even beyond the right edge of the wide frame.
