Have you ever wondered if you can see a galaxy without a telescope? Night into Friday you can catch a glimpse of the Triangular Galaxy, one of our closest galactic neighbors.
2.7 million light years away from our blue planet, the Triangle Galaxy is located. It is the third largest galaxy in our Local Group. If you’re lucky, you might see it.
“You don’t need a telescope to see a galaxy!”, he writes Science with pictureswho first mentioned the matter.
Located in the constellation Triangulum, the Triangulum Galaxy is the most distant of the three galaxies that are sometimes visible from northern latitudes without the use of a telescope.
The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy with about 40 billion stars. It’s a little smaller than our own Milky Way, but it’s still an impressive sight. Illustrated Science writes that there are large clouds of hydrogen gas where large, hot, short-lived stars are formed.
Thursday afternoon or Friday night you should look to see if you can see this interesting cosmic neighbor. Wait until your eyes have adjusted to the dark, and you can use a star chart app to find the right spot in the sky. For example, professionals recommend the free app Stellarium.
