The brightness of normal galaxies is mainly due to stars; quasars are believed to get most of their energy output from the black hole at their center.
They contain billions of stars.
a spiral galaxy is what you call a "kind" or classificationfor example the milky way galaxy is a spiral galaxy
No. They have a spiral shape.,
While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born
Spiral Galaxies
Spiral galaxies, barred spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies
All types of galaxies have a core with a high star density. All galaxies with "arms" are called Spiral Galaxies, of which there are sub-types related to the shape of the arms.
Approximately 60% of all galaxies are spiral
It's not known to any degree of accuracy, but about 66% of all spiral galaxies are barred and about 60% of galaxies in the local Universe are spiral galaxies.
Yes. There are two types of spiral galaxies: "S" (normal spiral) and the less common "SB" (barred spiral, with an elongated center).

spiral galaxies (ours), irregular galaxies, and elliptical galaxies.
Spiral galaxies are named for the (usually two armed) spiral structures that extend from the centre into the disk.The spiral arms are sites of ongoing star formation and are brighter than the surrounding disk because of the young, hot stars.See related link for a pictorial representation.
