Triangulum - M33

This is the second closes large galaxy. It is the Third largest galaxy in our local group coming in behind Andromeda and our own Milky Way. It is Classified as a Spiral galaxy and is about 2.73 million light years from earth. It is located in the constellation Triangulum. It has an approximate diameter of 61,100 light years

This is sometimes considered to be the farthest permanent entity visible without magnification. It does require you to have great eye site and access to a dark site with minimal light pollution.

It is believed due to its location in relation to the andromeda galaxy an interaction may have occurred between the galaxies around 2 to 8 billion years ago.

Total amount of exposure time on this shot is a little over 11 hours.

Hope you enjoy this picture of another local group galaxy.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
