Spiral Galaxy M33 in the Triangle - Spiral galaxy M33 in Triangulum - The Galaxy...

IMAGE number
PIX4609292
Image title
Spiral Galaxy M33 in the Triangle - Spiral galaxy M33 in Triangulum - The Galaxy of the Triangle (M33, NGC598) is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. It belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or Andromede galaxy. In red, the star-forming regions appear, especially at the top left NGC 604 one of the largest and most active star-forming regions. It extends over 150 years of light. Image obtained from the Isaac Newton telescope of La Palma. M33 is a large, almost face - on spiral galaxy about 2.5 million light years distant in the northern constellation of Triangulum. It is a member of the 'Local Group' of galaxies, which is dominated by the Milky Way and M31. Like M31, M33 is approaching the Milky Way at a velocity of about 180km/s. Although the total light M33 galaxy is that of a star of magnitude 5.3, its large diameter makes it hard to see. However, despite its low surface brightness, this galaxy was among the first to be identified as a 'spiral nebula' by Lord Rosse in the 1840s. In the upper left (north - east) part of this wide field view is the reddish nebula NGC 604, one of the biggest and most active nearby starforming regions. It is about 150 light years in diameter, eqivalent to the distance from the Sun to the Orion nebula
