Galaxies

Types of Galaxies: Spirals

Spiral galaxies are so-named because of the graceful shapes of arms emanating from a bright

central nucleus.

(Hubble Space Telescope Image)

Types of Galaxies: Ellipticals

Elliptical galaxies lack spiral arms and dust and contain stars that are generally identified as

being old.

Types of Galaxies: Irregulars

Irregular galaxies lack any specific form and contain stars, gas and dust

generally associated with youth (They

are “new” galaxies.

Re-Sort V: 2

After watching the video, re-sort the cards into groups of Spiral, Elliptical, and Irregular galaxies.

Foldable V: 0
