Good question; why can't you see your own face without using a mirror?
Answers to BOTH questions; because we're INSIDE our faces - and inside our galaxy - and we can't see the whole thing. From the astronomy perspective, it's even worse; imagine being a cell in one of your tonsils, and trying to see your entire body. Our Sun is about 2/3 of the way out one of the spiral "arms", and we can't see the whole thing.
Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.
An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that doesn't have a specific shape like a pinwheel or an elliptical galaxy.
Nothing special - Just like most large galaxies, they are thought to have a super massive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.
Earth is in the milky way the milky way is a galaxy, a spiral galaxy i think and its called the milky way because it looks like milk when you see it at night yo other people who will probably answer like a second after me -Alex
Maffei 1 is one of the largest galaxies in the Local Group, with a diameter of approximately 150,000 light-years. It is classified as a giant elliptical galaxy and is located about 10 million light-years from Earth. Maffei 1 is part of a group of galaxies known as the Maffei Group, which also includes other notable galaxies like Maffei 2.
No, The name of our galaxy is the milky way Galaxy. The are many other galxies like the milky way, because it is a sprial galaxy, and there are billions upon billions of of spriral galxaxies.
There could be billions of other galaxies similar to the milky way.
Elliptical galaxies, Lenticular galaxies and Irregular galaxies.
There are other galaxies. Between the galaxies, there's lots of mainly empty space, with a very tenuous gas.
Irregular galaxies do not have a distinct shape or symmetry like spiral or elliptical galaxies. They often appear more chaotic and disordered, lacking the structured appearance of other galaxy types. Irregular galaxies can vary greatly in size and are characterized by a less defined structure.
Yes, galaxies like the Milky Way are part of galaxy clusters that move through the universe, but they do not orbit a single object like planets orbit a star. Instead, galaxies are influenced by the gravitational forces of other galaxies and dark matter in the universe.

No stars are actually a galaxy. All stars are stars and all galaxies are galaxies. Stars are found in galaxies. Some galaxies look like tiny dots in our night sky, so might look like a star, but they are not stars; they are galaxies.
No. The Milky Way galaxy is just one of billions of galaxies in the Universe. Just like there are billions of planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, there are also comparable numbers of planets in other galaxies.
The galaxy Triangulum is like the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies a Spiral Galaxy
I think elliptical galaxies are the galaxies you are referring to. Scientist normally describe them as a flatted disk shape. These galaxies contain mainly older stars.
It is a large galaxy, which is relatively near-by. There are galaxies nearer to us, like the two Magellan Clouds; but those are mini-galaxies.
