Characteristics

           Triangulum, or the precious triangle constellation of the located North hemisphere to the south of Andromeda and characteristic by its form of perfect isosceles triangle, calls the attention as much this constellation by its form that by its location. Formed by weak stars some is observable at first without problems. Is South al of the constellation of Andromeda and by as much, we observed in her few stars yes and galaxies. One is to 30º to the south of the celestial equator and therefore it is a poor zone in stars. The parallel of North 30º crosses the constellation in two, for that reason he is observable during the nights of October to April in both hemispheres.

               Triangulum limits the north with the constellation of Andromeda, to the east with Piscis, the south with Aries and the west with Perseus.

 The constellation of Triangulum I located the 22 to it of January of 1982 in the Majorcan locality of Inca, had then, 15 years.

        NOTE: 6,i: One is in a rich zone. There is a remarkable difference of brightness between the components, are something tight, the main one I see yellow it, however, the secondary white. It is unfolded without difficulty with the eyeglass of 50x.
