What kinds of galaxies are bright cores and spiral galaxies?
a spiral galaxy is what you call a "kind" or classificationfor example the milky way galaxy is a spiral galaxy
What are similarities between elliptical and spiral galaxies?
While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born
How are the centers of many spiral galaxies similar to many elliptical galaxies?
Both have a huge black hole at their center.
What galaxies are smaller with many bright young stars and lots of gas and dust for star formation?
Spiral Galaxies
What are the types or categories for galaxies?
Spiral galaxies, barred spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies
What is the type of galaxy that has a nucleus of bright stars with arms that circles around it?
All types of galaxies have a core with a high star density. All galaxies with "arms" are called Spiral Galaxies, of which there are sub-types related to the shape of the arms.
Do galaxies all have the same shape?
Galaxies may have any of four general shapes. Elliptical galaxies show little or no structure and vary in general shape from moderately flat and round or oval to spherical. Spiral galaxies have a small, bright central region, or nucleus, and arms that come out of the nucleus and wind around, trailing off like a giant pinwheel. In barred spiral galaxies, the arms extend sideways in a short straight line before turning off into the spiral shape. Both kinds of spiral systems are flat. Irregular galaxies are usually rather small and do not have a symmetrical shape.
How many galaxies are spiral?
Approximately 60% of all galaxies are spiral
How many barred spiral galaxies there?
It's not known to any degree of accuracy, but about 66% of all spiral galaxies are barred and about 60% of galaxies in the local Universe are spiral galaxies.
How many types of spiral galaxies are there?
Yes. There are two types of spiral galaxies: "S" (normal spiral) and the less common "SB" (barred spiral, with an elongated center).
What are the 3 common galaxies?
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
How are galaxies classifyed?
spiral galaxies (ours), irregular galaxies, and elliptical galaxies.
