Messier 66 - Leo
It is part of the so-called Leo Triplet along with NGC 3628 and NGC 3623. The one we are dealing with, M66, is the brightest of the 3, with a visual magnitude of {{ object[0].M66.visualMagnitude }} and a size of {{ object[0].M66.angularN }}x{{ object[0].M66.angularM}} arc minutes.
M 66 is {{ object[0].M66.mesDistances[0].dist }} {{ object[0].M66.mesDistances[0].unit }} away, and is a SAB(s)b kind Galaxy wich indicates something between barred and not barred shape, lacking inner ring, with intermediate rolled up arms.
The Leo triplet is interesting because it shows us three galaxies from different viewing angles: while M66 is shown almost face-on, NGC 3628 is shown almost edge-on, while NGC 3623 is another spiral that is shown to us at an oblique angle, similar to that of M 31.
