The current galaxy classification is based on.
* The Hubble sequence is a morphological classification scheme for galaxies invented by Edwin Hubble in 1936 * The de Vaucouleurs system for classifying galaxies is a widely used extension to the Hubble sequence, first described by Gérard de Vaucouleurs in 1959. * The Yerkes (or Morgan) scheme uses the spectra of stars in the galaxy

A barred spiral galaxy (SBc classification). It is like a spiral galaxy but has a bar structure near the centre.
What happens to the shape of an elliptical galaxy as you move from E0 to E7?
According to the Hubble classification system, an E0 galaxy should appear almost perfectly circular in shape, with an E7 appearing highly elliptical. In effect, as the number gets larger the eccentricity of the ellipse increases, so an E0 has no eccentricity!
Why are the galaxies divided into three major types?
