M33 the triangulum galaxy

[moonshinegnomie]

M33 might be the farthest object visible to the naked eye if yo have great vision and are in a dark sky sight. Its right on the very edge of naked eye visibility at about magnitude 6. the galaxy is about 2.75 million light years away. it may be a satellite of the andromeda galaxy or may be in the process of being absorbed by it,scientists arent sure.

1. Wow, great shot, my dear moonshinegnomie!

I can practically feel it turning.

Thanks so much for all your efforts!

2. No way to "rescue" it either, but the Milky Way is also eating galaxies.

3. How hypocritical are we to

Think we are the only life form in our universe or any life form in other galaxies. We just aren't advanced as they are.
