The four primary types of galaxies are spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, lenticular galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, have a distinct spiral structure, while elliptical galaxies are more rounded and smooth. Lenticular galaxies are a hybrid form with features of both spiral and elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies lack a defined shape. Each type showcases unique characteristics and formation processes in the universe.

What are the different names of galaxies in the universe?
Galaxies in the universe have different names based on their shape and structure. Some common types of galaxies include spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Each type has its own unique characteristics and features.
Do galaxies all have the same shape?
Galaxies may have any of four general shapes. Elliptical galaxies show little or no structure and vary in general shape from moderately flat and round or oval to spherical. Spiral galaxies have a small, bright central region, or nucleus, and arms that come out of the nucleus and wind around, trailing off like a giant pinwheel. In barred spiral galaxies, the arms extend sideways in a short straight line before turning off into the spiral shape. Both kinds of spiral systems are flat. Irregular galaxies are usually rather small and do not have a symmetrical shape.
