	M65, M66 and NGC 3628 - Leo Triplett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		M66 has spiral arms which are among the most easy to be seen visually, but at least 10 inch of aperture will be needed to see them well.
		M65 and M66 are just a small move east of the northernmost and brightest of these stars, the galaxies are visible in a 7x50 or even better in a 10x50 finderscope in a dark night.
		With such a light-bucket, M65, M66 and NGC 3628 are spectacular sights, the dust band in NGC 3628 is easy to see and even the fringes at both ends of the cigar-shaped galaxy become visible, without averted vision.

	M66 Spiral Galaxy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Spiral galaxy M66 is largest galaxy in the a group known as the Leo Triplet.
		M66 is somewhat peculiar because of its asymmetric spiral arms.
		Recent research indicates that M66 is unusual in that older stars are thought to heat up the dust in the galaxy's central bulge - a job attributed to young and hot stars in many other galaxies.

	Messier Object 66
		M66, together with its neighbors M65 and NGC 3628, forms a most conspicuous triplet of galaxies, the Leo Triplett or M66 group, located at a distance of about 35 million light years.
		M66 is considerably larger than its neighbor, M65, and has a well developed but not well defined central bulge, and is therefore classified Sb.
		Together with its neighbor M65, M66 has been discovered by Charles Messier, who cataloged it on March 1, 1780, remarks that he missed these two objects in 1773, when a comet passed between them on November 1 to 2, 1773, probably because of the light of the comet.

	M65 and M66 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		M65 and M66 are two spiral galaxies in Leo that present a fine pair in the same low power field of view of most amateur telescopes.
		M66 is the galaxy on the left in this image, and M65 is on the right.
		In amateur size telescopes, these two galaxies form a beautiful trio with NGC 3628, which is only 35 arcminutes north of M66.

		Simulations by Toomre (1977) and Rots (1978) have modeled the orbits of M66 and NGC 3628 and concluded that these galaxies came within 80,000 light years of each other some 800 million years ago, and that encounter was responsible for the plumes and bridges we see now.
		In addition the rotation curve for the eastern part of NGC 3628 falls sharply after reaching a maximum which is believed to be a strong signature of a previous interaction as rotation curves typically remain flat or rise in normal spirals.
		M66 may have entered by way of "infall" into the small bound system of galaxies during the time period of the last encounter.

	M66 - Galaxy in Leo
		M66 (NGC 3627) in the constellation of Leo is one of the brightest (magnitude 8.9) members of the "Leo Trio" galaxy group, consisting of M66, M65, and NGC 3628.
		The spiral structure of M66 is interesting as it shows strong deformations through gravitational interaction with neighbouring galaxies, especially M65.
		M66 was discovered by P. Mechain in 1780 and catalogued by Messier in March that year.

		These galaxies are both Spiral Galaxies, M65 at magnitude 9.3 and M66 at 9.0.
		If you position M65 and M66 at on edge of the field of view, NGC 3628 will appear at near the opposite end (North).

	M65, M66 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Any feeling of anxiety I might have possessed while seeking these two very remote objects residing in the galactic outback was quickly dispelled when I suddenly found them with the least difficulty.
		Located in the constellation Leo near the star 'Chort' close to the lion's hind quarters, I could get this pretty couple together in the field of my low power eyepiece and in my higher power eyepiece as well, further demonstrating their proximity to each other.
		Though both galaxies are large, bright, ashen in color and appear to have some nebulosity or mottling about them, M66 looks a bit brighter, larger and roundish while M65 has an elongated, narrower profile.

		M66 is a very good example of the dynamics that gravitational interaction with other galaxies can produce.
