In the constellation triangle, not so far from the Andromeda galaxy is the Triangle galaxy. It is easily visible in a small binoculars, e.g. a 7 × 50.
The Triangle galaxy has an estimated 40 billion stars, in comparison, our galaxy, the Milky Way, has approx. 100-200 billion stars. Astronomers believe that there are an estimated 200 billion galaxies in the universe, but the numbers are uncertain and increase with better telescopes and more knowledge. Some estimates say there are approx. 1 Quadrillion stars in the universe, that’s a 1 with 24 zeros behind it! Anyway, that’s staggering and incredible numbers.
The triangle galaxy can be found here:
