The two most common shapes for galaxies are a spiral, or an ellipse (circle or oval). All other shapes are considered uncommon.
Galaxies are classified based on their shape and structure. The main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies have distinct arms of stars, elliptical galaxies are more oval-shaped with older stars, and irregular galaxies have a less defined shape.
There are three main types of galaxies: spiral galaxies (like the Milky Way), elliptical galaxies (oval or spherical in shape), and irregular galaxies (lacking a distinct shape). These classifications are based on the galaxies' shapes and structures.
The three different types of galaxies are the Spiral galaxy, the Elliptical galaxy, and the Irregular galaxy. Spiral galaxies are obviously in the shape of a spiral, elliptical galaxies are shaped as an ellipse, or a flat circle, and irregular galaxies can be any 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.
Galaxies are classified according to their shape and structure, such as spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Additionally, galaxies can also be classified based on their size, luminosity, and proximity to Earth.
Spiral .

Yes, galaxies can be any size and shape.
oval
Irregular galaxies have no discernible shape.

Yes, peculiar galaxies are strangely shaped.
The Clouds of Magellan are known as irregular dwarf galaxies. They are relatively small and do not have a specific shape.
fartlike
the types of galaxies are barred, irreagular, spiral, and a shape like an hourglass.
