🦁🦁🦁 The Leo Triplet
Three galaxies, two of which were classified by Charles Messier as “not comets” which I suppose means he mistook the third one for a comet.
They sit at a distance of just over 30 million light years away. Close together, but about 4 million light years from each other, near the hindquarters of the constellation Leo. More or less as if they’re being pooped out.
