NGC 3627 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. It is part of the Leo I Group of galaxies and is also known as Messier 66. This galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years and features prominent spiral arms that are rich in star formation. Discovered by Charles Messier in 1781, NGC 3627 is notable for its bright core and well-defined structure. It is often studied for its interactions with nearby galaxies, which can influence its shape and star formation activity. Observations of NGC 3627 contribute to our understanding of galaxy evolution.
