The Leo Trio 

is from left- NGC 3628 'The Hamburger', M65 at top, and M66.  This exquisite and varied set of triplets lies in the constellation Leo the Lion. Estimated at 35,000,000 light years from Earth, the trio are true interacting neighbors and are likely linked with two other nearby Messier galaxies.
