The Hubble Space Telescope has taken the most detailed picture of the Triangle galaxy, one of two galaxies adjacent to our galaxy, the Milky Way, in the constellation Triangle or constellation Mace 33.
The image, published by the Hubble European Center in the city of Garshing, near the city of Munich, in southern Germany, includes 665 million light points (pixels), or 54 images.
Astronomers plan to use this composite image to study the so-called star-forming regions of this small spiral galaxy, where the collection of gas and dust has created new stars.
The constellation of the triangle is the third largest spiral galaxy of the local group, after the Andromeda galaxy and the milky way.
The triangular galaxy contains about 40 billion stars and active plants.
This galaxy, located in the constellation of the triangle in the southern part of the sky, lies about three million light-years away from the Milky Way and can be observed if viewing conditions improve, at Naked eye as a structural point.
