	Triangulum Galaxy
		Triangulum is small relative to its larger neighbors such as the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy, but is about average compared to most spiral galaxies in the universe.
		Triangulum is a member of the Local Group of galaxies and may be a gravitationally bound companion of the Andromeda Galaxy.
		NGC 604 is located in the northeastern corner of the galaxy as seen from Earth, 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 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 Galaxy (M33, NGC 598)
		A nearby type Sc spiral galaxy that is a prominent member of the Local Group.
		For the amateur observer, the Triangulum Galaxy can be glanced with the naked eye under exceptionally good conditions, making it, for those with keen eyesight, the most distant object visible without optical aid.
		M33 was the initial target of a 1975 SETI investigation by Frank Drake and Carl Sagan using the Arecibo radio telescope.

	Triangulum Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the smallest of the three largest galaxies (all of them spiral galaxies) in the Local group of galaxies and may be a gravitationally bound companion of Andromeda.
		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.
		Triangulum is a setting for a number of races in the related Star Fleet Universe, explored in a module currently in development.

	M 33
		The Triangulum galaxy M33 is another prominent member of the Local Group of galaxies.
		This galaxy is small compared to its big apparent neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy M31, and to our Milky Way galaxy, but by this more of average size for spiral galaxies in the universe.
		One of the small Local Group member galaxies, LGS 3, is possibly a satellite of M33, which itself may be a remote but gravitationally bound companion of the Andromeda galaxy M31.

		The Triangulum galaxy M33 is a member of the "Local Group" of galaxies which include the Andromeda galaxy M31, and our own Milky Way galaxy.
		This galaxy is smaller then both of these galaxies, but would be considered an average size for spiral galaxies in the universe.
		This galaxy was nick-named the "pinwheel galaxy" because of the spiral arms that extend from the bright center.

	Astronomers study Triangulum Galaxy
		U.S. astronomers say that intergalactic trip to Triangulum will take a bit longer than you planned -- since the galaxy is farther from Earth than thought.
		Ohio State University astronomer Kris Stanek and colleagues have determined the Triangulum Galaxy, otherwise known as M33, is actually about 15 percent farther from our galaxy than previously measured.
		Stanek says the finding implies the Hubble constant -- a number that astronomers rely on to calculate a host of factors, including the size and age of the universe -- could be significantly off the mark as well.

	Spiral galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spiral galaxies are also named due to the bright arms of star formation within the disk that extend—roughly logarithmically—from the bulge.
		The disks of spiral galaxies tend to be surrounded by large spheroid halos of Population II stars, many of which are concentrated in globular clusters that orbit the galactic center.
		Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has long been thought to be a spiral, with a Hubble sequence classification of Sbc (possibly SBb); recent research from the Spitzer Space Telescope, however, confirms that it is in fact a barred spiral.

	Weasner's Meade ETX Site
		Oddly enough, Triangulum is one of the original 48 constellations as set out by Ptolemy in the 2nd century A.D. Odd because it does not really fit the pattern of serving to honor myth, legend, and important Greek and Roman gods of antiquity.
		Triangulum is a "fall" constellation for the northern hemisphere, rising at the end of dusk very far north of due east from mid-northern latitudes about 9:30 p.m.
		For lack of a better description, this is a "rugged" spiral galaxy; the ETX 125 and LX 90 "may" show some clumping of this object, this being the conglomerated star groups that are lumped tightly in a couple of the spiral arms.

	M33 - Triangulum Galaxy
		Despite looking huge (the visible extent of this galaxy is 73 arcmins in large telescope photographs, more than four times the size of the full moon), M33 is a relatively small galaxy, its true diameter measures only about 50.000 light years, about half the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy.
		M33 was among the first galaxies identified as "spiral nebulae" by William Parsons, the Third Earl of Rosse.
		There are a some HII regions visible within the galaxy; the brightest one is NGC 604 at the end of a bright spiral arm 10 arcminutes northeast of the galaxy's center and appears as fuzzy spot even in a 6"-telescope.

		M33 is a large, almost face-on spiral galaxy about 2.5 million light years distant in the northern constellation of Triangulum.
		Though 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.

	Messier Object 33
		This is one of the largest H II regions known at all: it has a diameter of nearly 1500 light years, and a spectrum similar to the Orion nebula M42.
		The Triangulum galaxy M33 is of type Sc, and even a "late" representative of that type so that Tully classifies it as Scd (in the Nearby Galaxies Catalog).
		For the observer, this galaxy can be glanced with the naked eye under exceptionally good conditions; for most people, it is the most distant object visible to the naked eye (there are rare reports that some eagle-eyed stargazers managed to see M81 under exceptional conditions, but this is exceptional with all respects).

	M33 Movies
		M33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy or the Triangulum Pinwheel Galaxy, is the third largest galaxy in the local group (after Andromeda and the Milky Way).
		This Sc type spiral galaxy spans more than a degree on the sky (more than twice the size of the full moon), and can even be seen with the naked eye on a dark night.
		Duncan in 1922 reported the first three variable stars found in the galaxy, and was shortly followed by Hubble in 1926 who discovered 42 additional variables, including 35 Cepheids that he used to obtain a first estimate of the distance to M33, establishing it as a distinct galaxy external to the Milky Way.

		M33 is over 50,000 light-years in diameter, third largest in the Local Group of galaxies after the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), and our own Milky Way.
		About 3 million light-years from the Milky Way, M33 is itself thought to be a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy and astronomers in these two galaxies would likely have spectacular views of each other's grand spiral star systems.
		In fact, the cavernous NGC 604 is the brightest star forming region, seen here at about the 1 o'clock position from the galaxy center.

		The Andromeda Galaxy, the bright, fuzzy patch at top center, was first reported in AD 953 by the Persian astronomer al-Sufi, who called it a “little cloud”.
		The Pinwheel Galaxy was discovered telescopically in 1764 by the French comet hunter Charles Messier (M31 means it's the 31st object in Messier's catalogue of objects that could be mistake for comets).
		At the bottom of the photo is the constellation Triangulum; the Pinwheel Galaxy is the faint patch marked with a note.

	Triangulum Galaxy Shines In New Portrait
		In this new image from the Multiple-Mirror Telescope Observatory's 6.5-meter telescope, the Triangulum galaxy reveals stunning swirls of stars and dust dotted with brilliant pink nebulae.
		Caldwell and McLeod said they picked the Triangulum galaxy to be one of the first objects photographed by Megacam, because the galaxy - also known as Messier 33 or M33 for its designation in the catalog compiled by Charles Messier — lies about 2.4 million light-years from Earth.
		Triangulum is the smallest of the three spirals in the local neighborhood, holding as much mass as 10-40 billion suns, while the Milky Way holds about 200 billion suns' worth of normal matter.
