They have no defined shape nor structure and may have formed from collisions, close encounters with other galaxies or violent internal activity.

A spiral is a curved pattern that focuses on a center point and a series of circular shapes that revolve around it. Examples of spirals are pine cones, pineapples, hurricanes. The reason for why plants use a spiral form like the leaf picture above is because they are constantly trying to grow but stay secure. s1809561 https://padlet.com/s1809561/212svt5amej0d7h6/wish/1421194089 2021-04-15 14:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/s1809561/212svt5amej0d7h6/wish/1421194089 An Example of elliptical Examples. , whose supermassive black hole is the first black hole to be imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope. one of the largest galaxies in the observable universe.

These are companion galaxies to our own Milky Way, and can be easily seen at dark sites in the Southern Hemisphere. The Large (left) and Small (right) Magellanic clouds are prime examples of irregular galaxies. s1809561 https://padlet.com/s1809561/212svt5amej0d7h6/wish/1421229272 2021-04-15 14:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/s1809561/212svt5amej0d7h6/wish/1421229272 The definition of spiral Spiral galaxies are twisted collections of stars and gas that often have beautiful shapes and are made up of hot young stars. ...
