}}Triangulum II (Tri II or Laevens 2) is a dwarf galaxy close to the Milky Way Galaxy. It contains only 1000 stars, yet is quite massive, having a solar mass to light ratio of 3600.[6] This is an unusually high mass for such a small galaxy.[1]

The distance from the centre of the Milky Way is {{convert|26|kpc|kly|abbr=on}}. The luminosity is 450 times that of the Sun.[2] This makes it one of the dimmest known galaxies.[2] The 2D half light radius is {{convert|34|pc|ly|abbr=on}}. The galaxy was discovered in images taken by Pan-STARRS by Benjamin P. M. Laevens in 2015.[3][2]

Triangulum II is a candidate for detecting WIMPs as a source of dark matter.[1]
