The Sharpest View Ever of the Triangulum Galaxy

Caption

This gigantic image of the Triangulum Galaxy -- also known as Messier 33 -- is a composite of about 54 different pointings with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. With a staggering size of 34 372 times 19 345 pixels, it is the second-largest image ever released by Hubble. It is only dwarfed by the image of the Andromeda Galaxy, released in 2016.
