The NGC 3627 galaxy as seen with MUSE on ESO’s VLT
This image of the nearby galaxy NGC 3627, taken with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), combines green, red and infrared filters to reveal the distribution of stars.
NGC 3627 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 31 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo.
The images were taken as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) project, which is making high-resolution observations of nearby galaxies with telescopes operating across the electromagnetic spectrum.
