Description

M65 and M66 are two-thirds of the Leo Triplet which is a small group of galaxies located about 35 million light-years away in the constellation of Leo. The third galaxy NGC 3628 is not shown due to the narrow view of the telescope.

These two galaxies are approximately 200,000 light years apart.
