NGC 3395
NGC 3395 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 100 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. It is part of a pair of interacting galaxies known as the NGC 3395/NGC 3396 system, which are engaged in a gravitational dance that can lead to star formation and other dynamic phenomena.
Discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1784, NGC 3395 has a bright core and distinct spiral arms. Its interaction with the nearby galaxy, NGC 3396, creates tidal forces that can distort their shapes, making them fascinating subjects for astronomers studying galaxy evolution and interactions.
