What shapes are the galaxies?
|
A spiral galaxy, like the Milky Way, has a central lump with several 'arms' spinning out from the centre. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like flattened spheres. Irregular galaxies have no particular shape at all. | The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy. All the stars that we see in the night sky are in the Milky Way. |
