Description

For me, the most beautiful set of galaxies in the sky.

Small group of galaxies located in the constellation of Leo, approximately 35 million light years away, whose galaxies are gravitationally linked.

The Lion's Triplet is formed by the galaxies M65 (below, on the left), M66 (above, on the left) and NGC 3628 (on the right, known as the hamburger galaxy).
