Irregular galaxies are unique star systems that don't fit into the regular mold of spiral, elliptical, or lenticular galaxies. Their chaotic shapes are often the result of gravitational interactions or collisions with other galaxies. Despite their irregular appearance, these galaxies can still contain vast numbers of stars, gas clouds, and other celestial objects.
