The Leo Triplet (also known as the M66 Group) is a small group of galaxies about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. This galaxy group consists of the spiral galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628. #astronomy #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Nuits moches, nuits à l'Assemblée, obligations... Il me tardait d'installer le télescope ! La nuit dernière, enfin ce fut possible. Brève session sur le Triplet du Lion, à 35 millions d’années-lumière. On repère les galaxies spirales M65, M66 et NGC 3628 ("galaxie du Hamburger").

Image of Arp 16, also known as M66, from Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966).
In the original catalog it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - Detached segments. M66 has loose arms full of young star clusters.

The Leo Triplet (M66 Group) are gravitationally bound and have interacted in the past, causing the group to exhibit tidal distortion structures.

Found out the local library's digital collection had just about every Masamune Shirow coming except Ghost in the Shell for some reason, so Appleseed, Dominion Tank Police, Black Magic M66, etc. are in the bedtime reading rotation.
