In the Neighborhood

At 2.73 million light-years away, the Triangulum Galaxy is considered part of our local group - and is the 3rd largest galaxy in the neighborhood. Although its area in the sky is roughly 4 full moons, its low surface brightness make is extremely difficult for unaided observation - requiring dark skies.
