Image of the irregular galaxy PGC 18431. It is located 31 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Columba.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered two tiny dwarf galaxies that have wandered from a vast cosmic wilderness into a nearby “big city” packed with
The Hubble Space Telescope peered millions of light-years away to capture the dim galaxy Leo A.
See below. Most galaxies are spiral(milky way), elliptical, lenticular and irregular shape. The first shape to be known was spiral because milky way is a spiral galaxy. Spiral galaxies look like pinwheel. Elliptical galaxies are generally smooth and oval. And some galaxies are neither spiral nor elliptical , they are irregular . Irregular galaxies are generally small in size.
There are four distinct types of galaxies in the universe, elliptical, spiral, barred spiral, and irregular. Although these are the four main types, there are various types of galaxies and the way in which they are classified is by their shape. A galaxy is a cluster of stars, gas, and dust that are kept together...
NGC 14 is an irregular galaxy in the Pegasus constellation. It was included in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies
Image of the dwarf irregular galaxy Holmberg IX. It is located 12 million light years away in the constellation of Ursa Major, and is a satellite galaxy of M81. It is one of the youngest nearby galaxies as it formed within the last 200 million years.

Electrical Charged Superfluid Plasma Cosmology: GALAXIES
inside griffith observatory
Astronomers thought mergers formed giant elliptical galaxies. Now, for at least 24 observed galaxies, mergers have formed flattened, circular disks of dust and gas.
This project produced “out of this world” results! (OK, Bad pun, I know!) We began this lesson with 3 days of Galaxy Painting using watercolors. The techniques I taught the kids were loosely titled “Twilight”, “Nebula” and “Milky Way” and were based off THIS VIDEO. I created my own 4-6 minute videos on several of…

Commissioned by Toronto International Airport (now Toronto Pearson International Airport), Galaxies is Kazuo Nakamura’s first of two public projects and a rare public display of his sculpture.
So in efforts to clean out my picture albums and to get on a more regular blogging schedule, I'm pulling out a few unblogged outfits from t...
