A Guide to the Deepsky Images at SEDS

Our image was obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope and shows the giant diffuse nebula and star cluster NGC 604 in the Triangulum Galaxy M33 which is a member of the Local Group of galaxies, like our own Milky Way Galaxy. It is about 3.0 million light years distant.
