spiral elliptical and irregular.
spiral galaxies (ours), irregular galaxies, and elliptical galaxies.
There are three main types of galaxies: spiral galaxies (like the Milky Way), elliptical galaxies (oval or spherical in shape), and irregular galaxies (lacking a distinct shape). These classifications are based on the galaxies' shapes and structures.
No. As of 2013 HyperLeda contains a database of about 3 million objects, about half of which are known to be galaxies.
There aren't really any other names for a galaxy that I can think of, but there are galaxy classifications, such as spiral galaxies (that can rotate either clockwise or counter-clockwise), elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies.
There are usually 4 classifications: Elliptical, spiral, (including barred spiral), lenticular, and irregular. (However some classifications do have only 3 types.)
There are various ways of categorising galaxies, often based on Edwin Hubble's work on the shapes galaxies. Classifications often give the four main types of galaxies as: Spiral (including barred spiral), Elliptical, Lenticular and Irregular.
The three main types of galaxies are spiral galaxies (disk-shaped with a central bulge and spiral arms), elliptical galaxies (smooth and oval-shaped without spiral arms), and irregular galaxies (lack a distinct shape).
Spiral, elliptical, irregular, and barred spiral are classifications of galaxies based on their shape and structure. Spiral galaxies have a distinct spiral structure with arms winding outward from the center, while barred spiral galaxies feature a central bar-shaped structure with arms extending from the ends of the bar. Elliptical galaxies are more rounded or elongated and lack the distinct features of spiral arms, while irregular galaxies do not fit into these specific categories and often have an irregular shape. These classifications help astronomers understand the formation and evolution of galaxies.
The Draco constellation contains at least 30 recognized galaxies, including notable ones like the Draco I and Draco II dwarf galaxies. Additionally, there are several other smaller galaxies and galaxy clusters within its boundaries. The exact number may vary as new discoveries are made and classifications change.
SB and SA are two types of galaxies which are described respectively as barred and normal. Both types fall within the spiral form which galaxies may assume. S and SA more specifically qualify for the classifications of ordinary or unbarred within the spiral form of normal galaxies while only SB receives the categorization of barred type of normal, spiral galaxy.
There are four classifications for galaxy shapes. Spiral, like our milky way, oblique, such as G 3417., a conjoined spiral, (these are fairly rare so far, that is we have seen very few of these so far), this type of galaxy forms when two spiral galaxies get close enough that the gravitational pull from each of the galaxies massive black holes, (located in the center of every galaxy), "pull" the two galaxies towards one another and the result is a spectacular collision that can last for many billions of years. The last classification is commonly known as "junk galaxies", (although there is no actual name), and it includes all other shapes that are not included in the other three classifications.
