Triangulum Galaxy
This is the triangulum galaxy again! Had a nice clear night and collected some good images.
The triangulum galaxy might look huge, but it’s a lot smaller than both the milky way and andromeda! The milky way has around a trillion stars, the triangulum galaxy only has around 40 billion.
Enjoy this sight while you can! In about 4 billion years both the our milky way and andromeda will rip it apart and consume it. Hope I’m alive to see it!
