The Hamburger Galaxy
NGC 3628
According to the NASA APOD website
"This tantalizing island universe is about 100,000 light-years across and 35 million light-years away in the northern springtime constellation Leo.
NGC 3628 shares its neighborhood in the local Universe with two other large spirals M65 and M66 in a grouping otherwise known as the Leo Triplet.
Gravitational interactions with its cosmic neighbors are likely responsible for the extended flare and warp of this spiral's disk."
