They classify Galaxy's by their shape, size, composition & color.

Galaxies are large systems of stars and interstellar matter, typically containing several million to some trillion stars, of masses between several million and several trillion times that of our Sun, of an extension of a few thousands to several 100,000s light years, typically separated by millions of light years distance.

They come in a variety of flavors: Spiral, lenticular, elliptical, and irregular. Besides simple stars, they typically contain various types of star clusters and nebulae.
