Triangulum Galaxy
The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy approximately 3 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum.
The Triangulum Galaxy, the third largest and only ordinary spiral galaxy in the Local Group, may or may not be a companion to the Andromeda galaxy but probably has Pisces Dwarf as a satellite.

M33, the Triangulum galaxy, is like a miniature version of the Milky Way. It has a big bulge of stars in the center surrounded by bright spiral arms, dark dust lanes, and bright knots where new stars are being born.

Next, to locate the Triangulum Galaxy, find the Great Square high in the east. From the northeast corner, find 3 bright stars in a long line arcing across the sky west to east just below Cassiopeia.
The most notable feature in Triangulum is the Triangulum Galaxy, or Messier 33 (NGC 598), a deep sky object that can be observed in binoculars. The Triangulum Galaxy is a member of the Local Group of galaxies.
This contains around 70 galaxies with the big ones being our own Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), and the Triangulum Galaxy (M33).

The new data also suggests that Andromeda has the Triangulum Galaxy lined up for its next course, with interactions already occurring. "Ultimately, these two galaxies may end up merging completely," says team member Scott Chapman.
The Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy are the major members of the Local Group, a group of some 35 closely bound galaxies; The Local Group is part of the Virgo Supercluster.
The Milky Way belongs to a group of galaxies that is known as the Local Group. The Local Group contains about 30 galaxies, two of which are the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy.

The other spiral galaxy in the Local Group is the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), which is 900 kpc away. The distances of other members of the Local Group are typically around 750 kpc, although several are farther than 1.5 Mpc away.
