M65 and M66 are two spiral galaxies in the Leo constellation, around 31 and 35 million light years from earth respectively.

 

If you look closely, the spiral arms of M66 (the bottom left galaxy) appear to be slighty displaced/lobsided compared to the overall disk. So why is that?

 

While it's difficult to be 100% certain (we can't exactly roll back time), what likely happened is that M66 had violent gravitational interaction with its two neighbour galaxies (there's one more a bit out of frame) around 800 million to a billion years ago. As the galaxies got closer and closer together, they quite literally tore each other apart to an extent before finally drifting off to their current positions. The lobsided spiral arms of M66 are a result of this interaction.

NGC 3628, also known as the Hamburger Galaxy is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 35 million light years away in the constellation of Leo. It is part of the Leo triplet, which is a small group of galaxies including M65 and M66.

 

Towards the upper middle of this image you can see a faint tidal tail - This is approximately 300,000 light years in length.

 

The galaxy was first discovered by William Herschel in 1784.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haslingden_Grane

 

Haslingden Grane is a glaciated valley lying to the west of Haslingden and in the north east of the West Pennine Moors. It is easily accessible via the B6232 Grane Road which links to the M65 motorway and the A56. It contains three reservoirs: (west to east) Calf Hey Reservoir, Ogden Reservoir and Holden Wood Reservoir.

 

Prior to the construction of the reservoirs in the 19th century the settlement of Haslingden Grane had a population of 1,300 and was the centre of an illegal whisky distilling industry. The remains of some buildings can still be seen. Much quarrying has taken place in the past and continues at Jamestone Quarry.

 

The valley is overlooked to the north by Oswaldtwistle Moor and to the south by Musbury Heights. The attractive moorland scenery makes it a popular place for walking especially through the well known Fairy Glen beauty spot, there is an information centre, parking and cafe at Clough Head.

Oi meninas!! como foi o natal de vcs? espero que maravilhoso. Espero também que esse novo ano venha repleto de coisas boas e muitas idéias na cabeça para criarmos muitas e muitas coisas lindas!!!

Bem, nessa unha usei o Bianco Puríssimo (Risqué) + prata da Passe Nati + carimbo Konad placa m65 e alguns brilhinhos em cima do branco (não consegui captar na foto) :(

Ao vivo está tão mais bonito... que pena que não consigo tirar uma foto boa. Ainda farei algum curso de fotografia, pois assim não é possível.

Fiz hoje essas unhas e espero que dure até a sexta-feira, pois foi feita especialmente para o novo ano.

Meninas, espero que gostem, pois achei tão lindinha... modéstiaaaaaa heim? mas quando fica feio eu também falo, ou então nem posto as fotos. kkkk.

Bjs em todas e um FELIZ 2011!!!!!!

NGC 3628, also known as the Hamburger Galaxy or Sarah's Galaxy, is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. It has an approximately 300,000 light-years long tidal tail. Along with M65 and M66, NGC 3628 forms the Leo Triplet, a small group of galaxies. Its most conspicuous feature is the broad and obscuring band of dust located along the outer edge of its spiral arms, effectively transecting the galaxy to the view from Earth.

 

Due to the presence of an x-shaped bulge, visible in multiple wavelengths, it has been argued that NGC 3628 is instead a barred spiral galaxy with the bar seen end-on. Simulations have shown that bars often form in disk galaxies during interactions and mergers, and NGC 3628 is known to be interacting with its two large neighbors.Ngc 3628 Hamburger
