Description

Leo Trio - M 65, M 66, NGC 3628; data captured March 2012 and 2013; reprocessed December 2019.

M 65, lower left, includes supernova SN2013am; Group is 65 million light-years distant, which means light for this image started toward earth about the time the dinosaurs died out, probably due to an asteroid impact.
