M33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy or the Triangulum Pinwheel Galaxy, is the third largest galaxy in the local group (after Andromeda and the Milky Way). It lies roughly 2.6 million light years away from us (See for example Argon et al., 2004.) toward the constellation Triangulum. This Sc type spiral galaxy spans more than a degree on the sky (more than twice the size of the full moon), and can even be seen with the naked eye on a dark night.
