Description

The second closest spiral galaxy to the Milkyway, Triangulm is unusual because it may not contain a supermassive black hole in its center. because of this it does not have the central bulge that many spiral galaxies have, but instead is fairly even and flat throughout. because of the gravity of the Milkyway and Andromeda, Triangulum has above average star production, creating its mottled look.
