Why are irregular galaxies irregular?
An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that does not have a regular shape, like a spiral or an elliptical galaxy.[1] The shape of an irregular galaxy is uncommon - they do not fall into any of the regular classes of the Hubble sequence, and they are often chaotic in appearance, with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure.[2] Collectively they are thought to make up about a quarter of all galaxies. Most irregular galaxies were once spiral or elliptical galaxies but were deformed by gravitational action. Irregular galaxies also contain abundant amounts of gas and dust.
