NGC 3628, also known as the Hamburger Galaxy[3] or Sarah's Galaxy, [4][5][6][7][8] 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.

Jul 2, 2015 · NGC 3628, also known as the Hamburger Galaxy or Sarah’s Galaxy, is a famous unbarred spiral galaxy located in Leo constellation. The galaxy is about 100,000 light years across and occupies an area of 15 by 3.6 arcminutes of the apparent sky.

Explanation: Sharp telescopic views of NGC 3628 show a puffy galactic disk divided by dark dust lanes. Of course, this deep portrait of the magnificent, edge-on spiral galaxy puts some astronomers in mind of its popular moniker, the Hamburger Galaxy.

NGC 3628 is a Barred Spiral Galaxy in the Leo constellation. NGC 3628 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

Mar 24, 2025 · NGC 3628, also known as the Hamburger Galaxy or less commonly Sarah's Galaxy, is a striking edge-on spiral galaxy located about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo.

NGC 3628 forms the famous Leo Triplet (M66 Group) with the spiral galaxies, Messier 65 and Messier 66. It is the faintest member of the group and the only galaxy in the Leo Triplet that was not catalogued by Charles Messier.

NGC 3628 From CDK 1000. NGC 3628 is classed as an unbarred spiral galaxy 35 million light years away in Leo. Along with M 65 and M66 it is part of what is referred to as the Leo triplet. The galaxy features a tidal tail (part of which is shown here) that stretches 300,000 light years).

Together with its neighbors M65 and M66, NGC 3628 forms the famous “Lion Triplet”: these galaxies are all around 35 million light-years away. NGC 3628 stands out a little, being slightly larger but le...
