A possible satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy is quite small, with a mass one-seventh that of the Milky Way.

In a truly dark and transparent sky, one may be able to get a glimpse of this galaxy, making it one of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye, at 2.9 million light-years.

Binoculars show that M33 has an oval glow while a telescope will begin to reveal subtle details.
