Those are the clouds that look like flying saucers. I love them a lot. They’re usually formed in mountainous environments—the relatively moist air from lower in the atmosphere flows up the mountain and cools down significantly, making it condense into a cloud in that iconic saucer shape.
These clouds are somewhat elusive because they’re typically short-lived and localized. As the air moves down the other side of the mountain and sinks lower in the atmosphere, it “dries out,” and the cloud disappears.
So now if you see one, you’ll know what it is, but you can still pretend it’s a spaceship. I sure will.
Lenticular clouds are stationary clouds that form mostly in the troposphere, typically in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction. They are often comparable in appearance to a lens or saucer. Nacreous clouds that form in the lower stratosphere sometimes have lenticular shapes. (wikipedia)
Lenticular clouds are the "flying saucer" clouds which seem to occur when air conditions at lower levels become calmer, while, at higher levels, wind speeds remain higher. The tops of (usually) cumulus clouds are separated and smoothed by the higher winds and form "squadrons" of flying saucers. When this occurs in late evening, when the sun is low or even below the horizon, the undersides of these clouds appear to be lit up - hence their mis-identification by the inebriated or short-sighted as UFO's, especially as they can seem to move quite quickly in otherwise calm conditions. Because they occur in clusters of small clouds, they take their name from "lenticles" (freckles).
galaxy began as a spherical cloud in space.first stars formed while this cloud was round.the cloud collapsed under force of its own gravity this formed it into its dislike shape
A biconvex lens view of the galaxy, two of the same places projected against eachother, resulting in parallax time walls.
lenticular cloud are stationary clouds that for high altitudes in the sky they are usuaslly assigned in a right angle to the direction of the wind as example when humid air blows over the top
a lenticular cloud is a stationary clouds that form mostly in the troposphere
No answer but a question what's a lenticular I knew someone would attact my pea brain the day Mr. Know it All call in sick and tire of people asking him all kinds of QU ONLINE

There are actually four broad classifications : spiral, elliptical, lenticular and irregular. Spiral galaxies look, basically, like our Milky Way Galaxy, though there are some variations. Ellipticals can look elongated like a football, or almost spherical. Lenticulars are "lens shaped" galaxies. The irregular category covers just about everything else and include galaxies like our neighbors, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds . (Classifications vary and there are some that have only three types.)
the answer is "first".

The Big Bang theory states that the galaxies in the universe were formed almost 14 billion years ago. The Big Bang theory proves the galaxy spread out as it formed.
The 4 types of galaxies are spiral, barred spiral,elliptical and irregular. 1. Spiral galaxy is easiest to identify due to its spiral structure and has its dust and gas scattered out evenly. Two good examples are the Milky Way Galaxy and Andromeda Galaxy. 2. Barred Spiral looks somewhat like a spiral galaxy, but in the first stages. Rather than having the same look as the spiral galaxy, the gas and dust in a barred galaxy are compressed near the center, with unevenness of the gas and dust, even though it still forms somewhat of a spiral. 3. Elliptical Galaxies are one of the largest galaxies with billions of solar systems clustered to appear as one star. With dust and gas scattered throughout, these galaxies appear to be a round shape and tend to hardly contain interstellar matter. 4. Irregular galaxy is also easy to identify because it is poorly structured and are even sometimes called dwarf irregular galaxies.
Yes, lenticular galaxies are lens-shaped. They will not have spiral arms.
There are at least 20 billion lenticular galaxies in the universe.
one kind is lenticular galaxies
Elliptical galaxies, Lenticular galaxies and Irregular galaxies.
There are at least 20 billion lenticular galaxies in the observable universe, at distances up to 13 billion light years.
spiral, eliptical, cartwheel, barred spiral, and lenticular galaxies
Yes, there are some lenticular galaxies that are nearly 13 billion light years from the earth.
Spiral, elliptical, lenticular, and irregular.
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.
Spiral, barred spiral, lenticular, elliptical, irregular, and peculiar.
The Spindle Galaxy (NGC 5866) is a relatively bright lenticular galaxy in the constellation Draco.It is about 50 million light years from us.See related link for a picture.
