The main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular:
Spiral galaxies: Look like giant pinwheels, with arms made of gas, dust, and stars. The Milky Way is a large barred spiral galaxy.
Elliptical galaxies: Shaped like stretched-out circles, or ellipses. Some elliptical galaxies are almost perfectly circular.
Irregular galaxies: Don’t have a single common shape.
