#irregular galaxies

✨ What makes a galaxy irregular? It’s usually small and has a chaotic appearance that’s likely due to recent disturbances. Some acquire their unusual shapes from galactic encounters: When galaxies pass near each other or collide, gravity pulls and distorts their shapes—often resulting in long “tails” of stars and gas.

Distant Galaxies - September 7th, 1995.

"This Hubble Space Telescope image of a group of faint galaxies "far, far away" is a snap shot of the Universe when it was young. The bluish, irregularly shaped galaxies revealed in the image are up to eight billion light years away, and seem to have commonly undergone galaxy collisions and bursts of star formation. Studying these objects is difficult because they are so faint, however they may provide clues to how our own Milky Way galaxy formed."

Messier 104, always seen from the edge:

The Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest neighbor:

NGC 3521, located in the constellation Leo

And the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite orbiting our own galaxy:

Virgo Cluster Galaxies - November 13th, 1995.

"Pictured are several galaxies of the Virgo Cluster, the closest cluster of galaxies to the Milky Way. The Virgo Cluster spans more than 5 degrees on the sky - about 10 times the angle made by a full Moon. It contains over 100 galaxies of many types - including spirals, ellipticals, and irregular galaxies. The Virgo Cluster is so massive that it is noticeably pulling our galaxy toward it. The above picture includes two galaxies that are also Messier objects: M84 and M86. M84 is the bright elliptical galaxy just above the center of the photograph, and M86 is the bright elliptical galaxy to its right."
