Spiral Galaxies
Spiral galaxies are characterized by their winding spiral arms. They are rich in gas and dust, making them excellent birthing grounds for new stars. Explore more at our Spiral Galaxies page.
Elliptical Galaxies
Elliptical galaxies have a smooth, featureless light profile. They contain older stars and less interstellar material compared to their spiral counterparts. Learn more about them on our Elliptical Galaxies page.
Irregular Galaxies
These galaxies do not fit into the previous categories and have an undefined shape. They can be chaotic in appearance due to gravitational interactions, making them fascinating subjects for study. Read more on our Irregular Galaxies page.
