See it on NASA's siteThe Leo Triplet, a group of three spiral galaxies, appears in the constellation Leo. This astronomical field of view shows NGC 3628 on the left, M66 on the bottom right, and M65 at the top. All three are large spiral galaxies, but they look different because we see their galactic disks at various angles.
