Irregular galaxies do not have a particular shape and can vary widely in appearance. They can exhibit asymmetrical, irregular, or chaotic forms lacking the organized structure of spiral or elliptical galaxies. Irregular galaxies are often characterized by a lack of distinct structure or symmetry due to their turbulent nature.
The large magellanic cloud galaxy has an irregular shape. It does not look like spiral and elliptical galaxies shown in pictures.
The three different types of galaxies are the Spiral galaxy, the Elliptical galaxy, and the Irregular galaxy. Spiral galaxies are obviously in the shape of a spiral, elliptical galaxies are shaped as an ellipse, or a flat circle, and irregular galaxies can be any shape.
No, it is a spiral galaxy.
The Magellanic Clouds are irregular dwarf galaxies located near the Milky Way. They do not have a distinct shape and are characterized by a mix of irregular and spiral features.
The three main types of galaxies are spiral galaxies (disk-shaped with a central bulge and spiral arms), elliptical galaxies (smooth and oval-shaped without spiral arms), and irregular galaxies (lack a distinct shape).
Irregular - that's where they get their name from.
It is an irregular galaxy.
irregular galaxy
Not surprisingly, it would be called an irregular galaxy.
An Irregular Galaxy is a galaxy that has no shape or form as defined by the classes of the "Hubble sequence" An Amorphous galaxy is a galaxy that has neither spiral nor elliptical in shape as defined by "The Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies". See related links for pictorial representation

An irregular galaxy is just a galaxy in a iregular shape(odd). most gallaxies form ecliptal(round) ,spiral and barred spiral An irregular galaxy is usally an early galaxy or just a galaxy with a odd shape.
It is known as an irregular galaxy. A few different Classifications are : Irr L (some structure) Irr LL (No visible structure) Also Dward Irregulars : DL DLRRS (Low Metallicity)
A galaxy that has no discernable shape or structure is typically referred to as irregular. Irregular galaxies do not have a distinct spiral or elliptical shape, and can exhibit a chaotic, disorganized appearance. These galaxies often contain young stars and a mix of gas and dust.
The same stellar materials and dust any other galaxy is made of - it just hasn't taken on a coherent shape - yet, or possibly it had a collision encounter with another galaxy, leaving it "irregular" - either is possible.
A galaxy that lacks a regular shape is called an irregular galaxy. Irregular galaxies do not have distinct spiral arms or a central bulge like spiral or elliptical galaxies. They often have a chaotic appearance with no clear structure.
The difference is in the shape, as can be guessed by the name.
