NGC 3664
NGC 3664 is a magellanic barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Leo. It is located about 80 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3664 is approximately 50,000 light years across. It was discovered by Wilhelm Tempel on March 14, 1879. The galaxy is characterised by its asymmetric shape, which features a single spiral arm and an off-centre bar. The distribution of HI is equally asymmetric.
