This may refer to the so-called "flocculent galaxies". Perhaps it's the "multiple arm galaxies", which are sometimes put in with the flocculent type.

How are galaxies classified according to their characteristics?

Galaxies are classified based on their shape, size, and structure. The main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies have arms that spiral out from a central core, while elliptical galaxies are more rounded in shape. Irregular galaxies do not have a distinct shape. Additionally, galaxies can be classified based on their size and the presence of a central bulge or bar.

Was the spiral jetty influenced by the Great Serpent Mound?

Yes, Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty was influenced by the Great Serpent Mound. Both earth works have a great number of obvious similarities, and Smithson himself has said to have been partly influenced by the Great Serpent Mound.


What other types of galaxies are there besides the milky way?

The answer is YES. There are an estimated 200 billion galaxies in the known Universe. Most of these galaxies are relatively similar to our own, some bigger, some smaller, some differently shaped. Most galaxies hold 50-200 billion stars, and average about 50,000 - 100,000 light years across. Light travels at 180,000 miles PER SECOND, so if it only takes 2 seconds to get to the moon, 30 seconds to Mars, but 100,000 light years to cross our own galaxy, imagine the size! Mind boggling!
