Messier 104, nicknamed the Sombrero Galaxy, is an unusual spiral galaxy with both a large central bulge and a prominent, dusky disk, which we see nearly edge-on.
Messier 104 was also the origin of several important historical discoveries: it was the first galaxy in which dust lanes were seen, and also the first in which rotation was detected.
Messier 88 is one of the more prominent spiral galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, a large collection of galaxies seen in the direction of the constellations Virgo and Coma Bernices.

Messier 65 is a type Sa spiral galaxy and a member of the Leo Triplet of galaxies (neither of its companions, one of which is Messier 66, is seen in these images).
Moreover, Messier 65 has less gas and dust content than a type Sc spiral like M33, and its stellar population is characterized by a higher ratio of older-to-newer stars.
Messier 65 is barely seen at a wavelength of 25 microns (above, center).

Spiral Galaxy M66 (also known as Messier Object 66, Messier 66, M66, or NGC 3627) is a spiral galaxy in the Leo constellation.
It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1780.
M66 forms a conspicuous triplet of galaxies, the Leo Triplett in the M66 Group, along with its neighbors the Spiral Galaxy M65 and the Spiral Galaxy NGC 3628.

 M 91   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
For a long time, M91 was a "missing" Messier object, as Messier had determined its position from M89 while he thought it was from M58, as the Texas amateur W.C. Williams has figured out in 1969.
Previously, opinions have been around that M91 had either been a comet which the great comet hunter Messier mistook for a nebula, and Owen Gingerich had suspected that it had been a duplicate observation of M58.
Messier observed M91 on March 18th, 1781 "Nebula without a star in Virgo, above the previous one, number 90.

Charles Messier was a French astronomer who in 1774 published a catalog of 45 deep sky objects such as galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.
He created the catalog to aid astronomers and comet hunters (like himself) to distinquish the difference between a comet and an object that was permanently located in a certain point of the sky.
His catalog had grown to 110 objects by 1781 and became known as the "Messier Catalog".

M65 (also known as NGC 3623) is a barred spiral galaxy about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo.

M65 was discovered by Charles Messier and included in his Messier Objects list.

Hockey great Mark Messier is profiled in this DVD that documents his career from childhood hockey leagues in his native Canada to NHL superstardom in New York City.
Messier first achieved stardom as a member of the Edmonton Oilers' dynasty of the 1980s, which won three Stanley Cups in four years.
Messier is a throwback to the "old-school" of hockey players, combinating the vicious streak of Gordie Howe, the wicked slapshot of Bobby Hull and the fiery stare of Rocket Richard into one mean package.

Number 65 of the Connoissance [M 65 = NGC 3623] is "A very brilliant nebula extended in the meridian, about 12' long.
The general form of elongated nebulae is elliptic, and their condensation towards the centre is almost invariably such as would arise from the superposition of luminous elliptic strata, increasing in density towards the centre.
They were pointed out by Méchain to Messier in 1780, and they appeared faint and hazy to him [Actually, these are Messier's original discoveries].

La découverte de M65 (et de M66) est habituellement attribuée à Pierre Méchain (Kenneth Glyn Jones, Burnham), bien que Messier, cette fois, n'en ait pas reconnu la primeur à son ami Méchain, comme il le faisait normalement dans des cas similaires, et c'est ainsi que le NGC ne crédita pas Méchain pour cette découverte.
Charles Messier entra M65 dans son catalogue le 1er Mars 1780 et la décrivit comme une nébuleuse : "elle est très faible et ne contient aucune étoile".

This image of spiral galaxy NGC 3627, also known as Messier 66, was captured by the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxy Survey (SINGS) Legacy Project using the telescope's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC).
NGC 3627 is estimated to be 30 million light-years distant and seen towards the constellation Leo.
Astronomers suspect that the galaxy's distorted shape is due to its ongoing gravitational interactions with its neighbors Messier 65 and NGC 3628.

The AP7 images were used for Sky and Telescope's Messier Objects in Color Poster.
Because the images have the same relative exposures for each object type and the same camera orientation and image size, they can be used to compare one Messier object with another.

Messier 65 is seen as an elegant, almost edge-on spiral galaxy with a prominent central bulge.
Apart from this bulge, the only other prominent feature of M65 is its yellow-brown dust lane, which so obviously surrounds the galaxy but is only clearly seen where it hids a bright background.
