Triangulum Galaxy

The Triangulum Galaxy, also known as M33, is a beautiful spiral galaxy located about 3 million light-years from Earth. It is one of our closest neighbors in the universe and part of the Local Group, which includes the Milky Way. The galaxy spans roughly 60,000 light-years and contains billions of stars, gas, and dust. Its well-defined spiral arms are bustling with star formation, giving it a bright, hazy appearance when observed through telescopes. Studying the Triangulum Galaxy helps astronomers learn about galaxy formation, evolution, and the conditions that lead to star birth.
