Different galaxies have different shapes and sizes according to how many stars are in each. The best way to actually see them "up close" is by looking at images (some amazing ones are taken by the Hubble telescope).

What are the different types of galaxies in the universe and what do they look like?

we won't be able to answer this question for another 200 years!


Which stars are actually a galaxy?

No stars are actually a galaxy. All stars are stars and all galaxies are galaxies. Stars are found in galaxies. Some galaxies look like tiny dots in our night sky, so might look like a star, but they are not stars; they are galaxies.


If disorder increase with time why universe looks almost the same on a large scale in all directions?

Those two things are completely unrelated.The Universe looks the same in different directions.The Universe does NOT look the same at different distances. If you look at farther galaxies, in other words farther back in time, they look different than galaxies look now. If you look even further in time, at one time there weren't even any galaxies.Those two things are completely unrelated.The Universe looks the same in different directions.The Universe does NOT look the same at different distances.

What galaxies are elliptical?

They look like eclipse ones like s82o.


What is one way that an elliptical galaxy differs from the other types of galaxies?

Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.


Does space have different galaxies?

yes, there is ten different galaxies


Different kinds of galaxes?

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.


What are the observations that tell us that the universe is changing?

Mainly that galaxies that are very far away (i.e., from the distant past) look different to galaxies that are near-by (from the more recent past).


Are stars planets from different galaxies?

Through intense research it has indicated that stars are not only luminous balls of plasma held by gravity, but are also planets from different galaxies. From a distance, they may seem like stars, but are in fact planets. So yes, you are correct, planets are stars from different galaxies.


Are there different galaxies?

so people can make out in diffrent galaxies


How are multiple galaxies are organized?

Galaxies come in a number of forms and are very distant being that our own galaxy is 100,000 light years across, meaning traveling at the speed of light it takes one hundred thousand years to traverse [travel across], and then between our galaxy and others there are hundreds of thousands of light years. Generally, like stars, we use light wavelengths to determine the makeup, distance and speed of galaxies, whereas for the way they look we use varying wavelengths of energy, gamma rays, x-rays, infrared, ultraviolet and so on to get varying appearances of the distant objects and hopefully get a good idea of what they look like.


What are the three types of galaxies and what are there and shape?

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).
