Topic: Spiral Galaxy M65


  
  M65 - NGC3623: Spiral Galaxy
M65 is an elegant, almost edge on spiral galaxy with a prominent, bright, central bulge.
A dust lane surrounds the galaxy which is only easily seen where it hides a bright background.
M65 is gravitationally associated with M66 and NGC 3628 to form what is known as the Leo Triplet.

Galaxies of course are usually much harder both to locate and to catch much detail.
Both galaxies are visible in the same telescopic field of view along with a third galaxy, NGC 3628.
At 109X M65 is oval in shape with a bright nucleus; M66 seems a bit brighter than M65 and distinctly brighter than NGC 3628, both of which are in the same field of view; NGC 3628 is very dim with little detail visible and appears oriented south-west to north-east.

The differences between M66's spiral arms and the apparent displacement of its nucleus are all likely caused by the tidal gravitational pull of nearby galaxy neighbor M65.
Spiral galaxy M66, pictured above, spans about 100,000 light years, lies about 35 million light years distant, and is the largest galaxy in a group including M65 and NGC 3628 known as the Leo Triplet.
Like many spiral galaxies, the long and intricate dust lanes of M66 are seen intertwined with the bright stars and nebulas that light up the spiral arms.
