Kelly Lepo | Next in our 19 days of # PHANGS galaxies series is the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3627, as seen by # Hubble and # JWST . NGC 3627, also known as M66, is about 37 million light-years (11.3 Mpc) away. It was discovered by Charles Messier on 1 March 1780, object 66 in his catalog of “fuzzy things in the night sky that are not comets”. He described it as "very long and very faint." 📷 https:// webbtelescope.org/contents/med ia/images/2024/105/01HMA6P3V363GW0EA0347CR6HV 1/
