NGC 3628, the Hamburger Galaxy or the Sarah Galaxy

NGC 3628, also known as the Hamburger Galaxy or the Sarah Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy without a bar about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. It has a tidal tail about 300,000 light-years long. Along with M65 and M66, NGC 3628 forms the Leo Triplet, a small group of galaxies. Its most outstanding feature is the wide and obscuring dust band located along the outer edge of its spiral arms, effectively transecting the galaxy from Earth.

Asteroid 2010 WC9

Time Lapse of Asteroid 2010 WC9
Slooh members watched live last night as we trained our telescopes on a fast moving asteroid as it prepared to make its close approach to Earth. The time-lapse above shows the asteroid with an estimated size of between 174 - 394ft at a distance of 644,184 miles. Asteroid 2010 WC9 will make its closest approach to Earth tonight at 6:05 EDT (22:05UTC) traveling just 126,098 miles away, at a speed of 28,655mph. For comparison, the distance from the Earth to the Moon is 238,900 miles, or roughly halfway between.
