This video journey takes the viewer on a three-million-light-year trip to the Triangulum Galaxy, Messier 33. The final view, from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is the most detailed wide-field view of this object ever obtained and shows the many glowing gas clouds in the spiral arms with particular clarity.
