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.
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).
Scientists believe that galaxies formed earlier in the universe's history, with the most distant galaxies being some of the first to have formed after the Big Bang. Studying these distant galaxies can provide insights into the early stages of galaxy formation and evolution.
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.

Galaxies and planets are thought to have formed from the gravitational collapse of vast clouds of gas and dust in space. Within these clouds, gravity caused the material to clump together, eventually leading to the formation of galaxies composed of billions of stars and planets within these 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 Coma Cluster is known to contain a mix of elliptical and lenticular (S0) galaxies as its dominant types. These galaxies are characterized by their older stellar populations and lack of much ongoing star formation activity. Spirals and irregular galaxies are also present but in smaller numbers compared to elliptical and lenticular galaxies in the Coma Cluster.
A Lenticular Galaxy is a galaxy that is in between that of a elliptical and a spiral galaxy. They are disc galaxies that have used up all of their interstellar material and therefore have little, if any, star formation. They can be difficult to distinguish between elliptical galaxies if viewed side on. See related links for more information and pictorial representation
