  Triangulum Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Triangulum Galaxy (also known as M33 or NGC 598) is a spiral galaxy about 2.6 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum.
The Triangulum Galaxy is small relative to its larger neighbors such as the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, but is about average compared to most spiral galaxies in the universe.
The Triangulum Galaxy is a member of the Local group of galaxies and may be a gravitationally bound companion of Andromeda.

 The Triangulum Transmission
Finally, while there are transcendent minds within Triangulum, the Source oversees the development of all first toposophic and above mentalities and, using a combination of memetic and technic manipulation, causes all minds above the level of fifth toposophic to merge with itself.
Although the Triangulums cannot be completely sure, they postulate that the unknown creators of the Leviathan have imploded their entire galaxy down to a fraction of its former size before converting it into a single artificial structure or complex of structures and launching it across intergalactic space.
The Triangulum are beaming their transmission and its data to all of the galaxies within the Local Group so that all may be aware of this visitor from beyond.

Triangulum was known as Deltoton "with the earlier Greeks." Deltoton came, says Allen, from the Greeks' "similarly shaped letter [Delta]" (415), which letter is the shape of an upward-turned equilateral triangle, even today.
Triangulum is said to have been placed in the heavens by Jupiter at the request of Ceres, who asked that the shape of her beloved island of Sicily might be represented amongst the stars (1992, 20).

Triangulum's stars are even dimmer: Its brightest rates a 3.0 magnitude.

Triangulum Australe is a triangular pattern formed by three stars with magnitudes varying from 2 to 3.
Triangulum Australe didn't receive its current name until the 15th century.
The southern constellations were observed by and given names by the peoples living south of the Equator in South America, Africa and Australia, but didn't receive names that were accepted in the northern hemisphere until much later such as Microscopium (Microscope) or Pyxis (Mariner's Compass).

Next to Triangulum Minus is another doomed constellation, Musca Borealis, which was invented by Petrus Plancius.

There is no core in the center of Triangulum, instead there is an energy object, rapidly going through transitions and evolutions, the energy object is the whole area in the next photo.
Because the inner region in the case of Triangulum is rotating faster than the outer region, an uncommon situation in galaxy's but the fluid tectonic compression has dramatically upset the normal galaxy velocity distribution gradiants.
On the other hand, the leading edge of Triangulum pressing against Andromeda, feels, because the media of the galaxy itself is fluid, not plate, telepathic hits all the way across to the far other side of the galaxy.

Lampropeltis triangulum is a geographically diverse species of snake whose over 24 subspecies are found throughout the Americas.
The species is nonvenomous, and therefore not a threat to humans, although its coloration often mimics that of its poisonous cousins, the coral snakes.
I also hope that through greater general awareness of the nature of these wonderful creatures beyond their superficial beauty, a greater appreciation and respect for them may be fostered.

 The Beacon Project
With the receipt of the Triangulum Transmission and its confirmation of the existence of at least one extragalactic civilization of comparable complexity to our own, a great interest has recently developed among a number of xenophilic groups in attempting to contact other such cultures across intergalactic space.
The Triangulum Transmission caused a marked increase in both memberships and resources, permitting the purchase of an uninhabited minor star system and the purchase of the construction templates for a standard dyson power collection swarm.
The intent of course is to let the Triangulum civilization know that their Transmission has been successful in at least one case.
