The difference is in the shape, as can be guessed by the name.
An irregular galaxy is a galaxy with no definite shape like spirals, lenticulars, and ellipticals.
Elliptical galaxies are typically larger than irregular galaxies. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like ellipsoids and often contain more stars and stellar mass compared to irregular galaxies, which have a more irregular and chaotic shape and structure.
A galaxy that lacks a regular shape is called an irregular galaxy. Irregular galaxies do not have distinct spiral arms or a central bulge like spiral or elliptical galaxies. They often have a chaotic appearance with no clear structure.
There are the the spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxy formations.
A galaxy that has no discernable shape or structure is typically referred to as irregular. Irregular galaxies do not have a distinct spiral or elliptical shape, and can exhibit a chaotic, disorganized appearance. These galaxies often contain young stars and a mix of gas and dust.
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
I think the least common is elliptical or irregular..
An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that doesn't have a specific shape like a pinwheel or an elliptical galaxy.
It is known as an irregular galaxy. A few different Classifications are : Irr L (some structure) Irr LL (No visible structure) Also Dward Irregulars : DL DLRRS (Low Metallicity)
Spiral Galaxy. Your Welcome =)
Generally, an elliptical galaxy is the oldest, a spiral galaxy is mid life and an irregular is fairy new. However, this is generally. An irregular galaxy can be formed from the merge of two elliptical galaxies - so it's not fool proof.
An irregular galaxy is a galaxy with no definite shape like spirals, lenticulars, and ellipticals.
there are 3 types of galaxies. 1.spiral 2.elliptical 3.irregular the main galaxy in our universe would be a spiral galaxy
Elliptical galaxies are typically larger than irregular galaxies. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like ellipsoids and often contain more stars and stellar mass compared to irregular galaxies, which have a more irregular and chaotic shape and structure.
A dwarf galaxy by virtue of it's name will be smaller than a "normal" galaxy.
Galaxies come in four different basic shapes: spirals, lens shaped, elliptical, and irregular. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy.
An Irregular Galaxy is a galaxy that has no shape or form as defined by the classes of the "Hubble sequence" An Amorphous galaxy is a galaxy that has neither spiral nor elliptical in shape as defined by "The Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies". See related links for pictorial representation
