The Triangulum Galaxy (M33) is the third-largest member of the Local Group, with a mass of approximately 5 × 10 10 M ☉ (1 × 10 41 kg), and is the third spiral galaxy. [6] It is unclear whether the Triangulum Galaxy is a companion of the Andromeda Galaxy; the two galaxies are 750,000 light years apart, [ 7 ] and experienced a close passage 2 ...

This is a list of largest galaxies known, sorted by order of increasing major axis diameters. The unit of measurement used is the light-year (approximately 9.46 × 10 12 kilometers). Overview
The largest galaxy in the M81 Group. ... This is the fourth-largest galaxy in the Local Group, and forms a pair with the SMC, and from recent research, ...
Largest Galaxy in the Local Group (The Milky Way is the second largest), with at least 19 satellite galaxies. Barred spiral galaxy. 152,000 ly 87
A size comparison of the six largest galaxies of the Local Group, including the Milky Way. The Milky Way is one of the two largest galaxies in the Local Group (the other being the Andromeda Galaxy), although the size for its galactic disc and how much it defines the isophotal diameter is not well understood.

The largest contiguous feature in the local volume and comparable to the Sloan Great Wall (see above) at half the distance. It is located at the celestial South Pole. King Ghidorah Supercluster (2022) 1,300,000,000 [19] Consists of at least 15 clusters plus other interconnected filaments. It is the most massive galaxy supercluster discovered so ...
The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years (ly) from Earth in the constellation Triangulum.It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC 598.With the D 25 isophotal diameter of 18.74 kiloparsecs (61,100 light-years), the Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, behind the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way.
