 Triangulum Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Triangulum Galaxy (also known as Spiral Galaxy M33, Galaxy M33, Messier Object 33, Messier 33, M33, or NGC 598) is a spiral galaxy of type Sc located in the Triangulum constellation.
Triangulum was probably discovered by Giovanni Batista Hodierna before 1654, who may have grouped it together with open cluster NGC 752.
As seen from Earth NGC 604 is located northeast of the galaxy's central core, and is one of the largest H II regions known with a diameter of nearly 1500 light years and a spectrum similar to the Orion Nebula.

 The Local Group
The next more distant galaxy groups, the NGC 4244 group and the CVn I Cloud (with M94 and M64) are probably too remote to have interacted significantly with the Local Group in the past.
It is of interest that of the subgroups of the Local Group mentioned above, the NGC 3109 group tends to the general direction of the Maffei 1 group and the M81 group, while the Local Group Cloud tends to the general direction of the Sculptor Group.
