Discover our neighbor belonging to our local group in the universe the Triangle M33 galaxy in order to print it and frame it at home or to offer to a loved one! We offer you the image in high definition in .jpg and .png format so that you can do with it what you want (frame, offer, make a postcard or greeting card).
 
It is a spiral galaxy located in the Triangulum constellation and which belongs to the "local group" of which our galaxy is part. It is the third most massive galaxy after Andromeda and ours (the Milky Way). However, it is slightly isolated and does not have a satellite galaxy like the others. As a result, its spiral structure is very regular and is not deformed. However, recent research has shown that the arms are not as regular as they appear. The youngest stars traced a one-armed spiral while the oldest traced a larger two-armed one.
 
Presented almost head-on with an inclination of only 9°, the Triangle galaxy can be observed down to the smallest details. Its isolation allows us to see its very pure spiral structure since it is not deformed by gravitational interactions with other neighboring objects.
 
This object itself has a large number of nebulae, there are nearly 500, including around fifty that can be captured in astrophotography by focusing on the hydrogen layer. Some are gigantic with a size of around 1500 light years. However, they are only visible by space telescopes like Hubble or James Webb.
 
It is so bright that it can be visible to the naked eye on very dark nights. This same brightness is a challenge in processing because it creates a halo around it that is difficult to treat.
 
The image presented is the combination of a first color layer and a second with a filter intended to bring out the hydrogen and thus the nebulae (pink/red in color). The halo was treated using different masks to clearly separate the galaxy from the sky background.
