Andromeda XXII (Pisces VI Triangulum I) is a low surface brightness dwarf spheroidal galaxy about 940–1033 kiloparsecs (3.07–3.37 Mly) away from the Sun in the constellation Pisces of the Local Group.Andromeda XXII is located much closer in projection to M33 than M31 [42 kiloparsecs (140 kly) vs. 224 kiloparsecs (730 kly)]. This fact suggests that it might be the first Triangulum (M33) satellite ever discovered.
