The Leo Triplet

The Leo Triplet (Leo Trio) is a small group of galaxies located about 35 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo. This group consists of the spiral galaxies: NGC 3628 (top), M66 (bottom left), and M65 (bottom right). The M96 Group (https://t.me/astrogeorgee/263) is physically close to the Leo Triplet. These two groups may actually be separate parts of a much larger group, and some group identification algorithms define the Leo Triplet as part of the M96 Group.
