Next in our 19 days of #PHANGS galaxies series is the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3627, as seen by #Hubble and #JWST.
NGC 3627, also known as M66, is about 37 million light-years (11.3 Mpc) away.
It was discovered by Charles Messier on 1 March 1780, object 66 in his catalog of “fuzzy things in the night sky that are not comets”. He described it as "very long and very faint."
