NGC 3268
|
NGC 3628 is a member of a group of galaxies, and gravitational interaction with the other members has left this galaxy a bit disturbed. Note the warp of the disk and the flaring of the outer rim of the galaxy. There is also a faint tail of material above and to the left of the main galaxy, orphan stars thrown off into intergalactic space by a gravitational encounter.
