Hi all,

An image of the Hamburger Galaxy, NGC 3628, has been uploaded. This edge-on galaxy is, together with M65 and M66, a member of the so called Leo Triplet. It has some remarkable features like the star stream that can be seen next to it and that it seems to be the result of the gravitational encounters of this galaxy with its two other companions in the Triplet.

You can see the image of the galaxy and additional informations about its inner properties at:

NGC 3628. Hamburger Galaxy

Enjoy!
