Brilliant Hubble Space Telescope image of the Triangulum Galaxy

According to RCO News Agency, A nearby galaxy glows with star formation in a new Hubble Space Telescope image.

According to Spacey, The spiral galaxy Messier 33 (M33), also known as the “Triangle Galaxy”, is the third largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, after Andromeda and the Milky Way. The triangle galaxy with an area of ​​60,000 light years is almost half of the Milky Way galaxy.

According to a NASA statement, the Triangulum Galaxy, located nearly three million light-years from Earth, is considered to be a birthplace of stars, forming stars 10 times faster than the Andromeda Galaxy.

Interestingly, the Triangular Galaxy’s regular spiral arms show little interaction with other galaxies, NASA officials said. Therefore, its rapid star birth is not the result of a galactic collision like many other galaxies.

Instead, new stars are born from the abundance of dust and gas in the galaxy. Collisions between large clouds of ionized hydrogen, known as H-II regions, create the high-mass stars visible in the new Hubble image. The large reddish clouds in the Hubble image show pockets of ionized hydrogen that, along with dark streams of gas, help fuel the galaxy’s rapid star formation.

NASA officials said: “The graininess of the image actually shows a crowd of countless stars.” The Triangulum Galaxy is one of less than 100 galaxies close enough for telescopes like Hubble to detect their individual stars.
