What is the triangulum galaxy?

The

triangulum galaxy is a medium -sized galaxy of approximately 3 million light -years in the constellation Triangulum, a triangle. It is the farthest object visible with an unused eye and can only be observed in a very dark sky. The Triangulum, also referred to as Messier 33 or NGC 59, is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the galaxy, but another larger galaxy already bears this name. Triangulum is sometimes confused with the NGC 752, close to an open cluster with greater luminosity from our convenient point. Triangulum is a member of the local group of gravitation -bound galaxies, the largest of which are Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy. The nearby dwarf of the fish can be a satellite galaxy triangulum and the triangulum itself can be a gravitation -bound companion Andromeda. From the galaxy in the local group, the triangulum, the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy are the only three spiral galaxies. The Triangulum is closer to Andromeda than to the Milky Way, separated from the second by only a million light years.

Although the triangulum galaxy is visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions, none of the telescopic observer notifies its existence. It may be because the galaxies tend to be gloomy and most clear than stars and planets, not to mention much less light.

The triangulum galaxy is known for having one of the most amazing areas of H II from any known galaxy, with an average of 1500 bright years. The H II area is a large cloud of ionized gas that serves as a stellar nursery. The stars are created in the dense parts of the Hi II areas called the side of the Globe, after an astronomer who first theorized were the birth of stars.
