Description

Leo's Triplet is also known as Arp 317, and it was discovered by French astronomer Charles Messier in 1780. The three galaxies are located at a distance of 35 million light-years and are part of the Leo constellation. It's a beautiful sight to see in the sky, and I feel grateful to have captured it in such an amazing way over five nights.
