About The Seven Flames
Photographed By: Hriman Vaghasia
In this stunning image of the Triangulum Galaxy, I captured from a remote area with very little light pollution. This Galaxy is approximately 3 million light-years away. This spiral galaxy, with a diameter of about 60,000 light-years, is home to an estimated 40 billion stars, all elegantly arranged in its mesmerizing spiral arms. The photograph is a composite of 60 frames, each consisting of 3-minute exposures, totaling 3 hours and 30 minutes of imaging time. The result is a breathtaking photo that showcases the details and vibrant colors of the galaxy, highlighting its grandeur and the vastness of the universe.
