Do you want the name of a specific one or just something that sounds more intellectual than "You know, those PINWHEEL shaped ones"? The correct terminology is spiral galaxy. As for an example, the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy.
* Messier 101, a galaxy referred to as the Pinwheel Galaxy - Spiral
* Messier 83, a galaxy referred to as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy - Intermediate spiral
* Triangulum Galaxy (Messier 33), a galaxy also referred to as the Triangulum Pinwheel Galaxy - Spiral
* Messier 99, a galaxy also referred to as the Coma Pinwheel Galaxy - Unbarred spiral galaxy
Messier 101 (M101, NGC 5457) was discovered by Pierre Méchain on March 27, 1781, and added as one of the last entries in Charles Messier's catalog. It was one of the first "spiral nebula" identified as such, in 1851 by William Parsons, the third Earl of Rosse.
Spiral and barred spiral galaxies have a two-armed pinwheel appearance.
Well it's just a guess :-/ but maybe the Pinwheel Galaxy!
The Pinwheel Galaxy - a spiral galaxy.
A Spiral Galaxy or a Barred Spiral. These are two of the main types of Galaxies.
An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that doesn't have a specific shape like a pinwheel or an elliptical galaxy.
In it's very early years, Nickelodeon used to be called Pinwheel.
No. It is a disk-shaped galaxy, like a pinwheel, with several curved radial arms and a large mass at the center. The closest thing to a "clump" of stars are the so-called "globular clusters" which are more spherical in organization than other common galaxies.
Astronomers once believed that planets were probably rare and unusual, and that tere might not be very many planets. However, recent discoveries indicate that planets are far more common; in fact, almost every star that astronomers have closely observed is discovered to have some planets! So it is likely that the "furthest planet in our galaxy" is on the other side of the galaxy from the Earth. The Milky Way galaxy has a radius of about 40,000 light years, and our solar system is about 3/4 of the way out from the center. So the "furthest planet in our galaxy" is probably somewhere near 70,000 light years away.
The Pinwheel Galaxy (Messier 101 or NGC 5457)
The Pinwheel Galaxy was created on 2003-07-15.
the pinwheel galaxy is also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457
A spiral galaxy has the shape of a pinwheel. Our solar system is in a spiral galaxy that we call the Milky Way.
A Spiral Galaxy or a Barred Spiral. These are two of the main types of Galaxies.
The "pinwheel" shape is usually called "spiral".
kahoy bakal

The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457) is about 27 million light years away and can be found in the constellation Ursa Major.See related link for a star map.
It looks similar to a toy pinwheel, with concentrations of stars along curved arms that would be the vanes of the pinwheel. (see the related image link below)
23 million light-years.
