The Triangulum Galaxy or Messier 33, is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum in the northern sky. It is the second brightest spiral galaxy in the night sky after the Andromeda Galaxy and one of the closest to our galaxy.

Nice pic! Interesting fact from Wiki that I didn’t know:
> Under exceptionally good viewing conditions with no light pollution, the Triangulum Galaxy can be seen by some people with the fully dark-adapted naked eye; to those viewers, it is the farthest permanent entity visible without magnification, being about half again as distant as the Andromeda Galaxy.
