Description

Our second-closest galactic neighbor, Triangulum, 2.7 million light years away. On a clear night, in a dark place, it's the most distant thing in the sky you can see with your bare eyes.

Our own Milky Way is in the middle of a gravitational dance with Triangulum and Andromeda; all three will eventually collide and combine.

4 hours of exposure captured over three nights in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico.
