The Triangulum galaxy also called Pinwheel
Galaxy is small compared to its big apparent neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, but
by this more of average size for spiral galaxies in the universe. It is outstanding
in good binoculars, but as its considerable total brightness is distributed quite
evenly over an area of nearly four times that covered by the full Moon, its surface
brightness is extremely low.
