The Triangulum Galaxy (also known as Messier 33 or NGC 598) is a spiral galaxy approximately 3 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum. The Triangulum Galaxy can be seen with the naked eye under exceptionally good conditions; it is thus the most distant object that can be seen without aid. |

In the upper left corner you can see a small galaxy called PGC 5899 which is almost 500.000.000 LY away from us!
The light of this galaxy, we see in this picture, was emitted at a time where life on earth was mainly living in the oceans and was just beginning to conquer land. |
