Spiral galaxies, looked at from the side, always provide an interesting perspective on their shape and composition. NGC 3628, located 35 million light years away, is located in the constellation Leo the Lion. Its massive distance alone is fascinating, and that we are able to get such a clear picture of it gives an idea of how luminous this galaxy must be. The tail of the galaxies are slowly being pulled apart, leading many scientists to believe that nearby objects are pulling on it, in a constant gravitational interaction. NGC 3628, like the countless other galaxies in the Universe, shows the beauty of a galaxy, a home to countless stars and countless solar systems.
