Spiral galaxies are located through out the known universe. Galaxies in general are grouped together into clusters and in turn superclusters of galaxies.
You are currently about 25,000 light years away from the core in the Orion Spiral Arm of one such spiral galaxy the Milky Way.
Our local group of galaxies contains 3 spiral galaxies the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy as well as about 30 smaller elliptical and irregular galaxies.
The local group is one small cluster out of a 100 or so other galaxy clusters that makes up part of the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies in which there are many hundreds of spiral galaxies.
More distant superclusters of galaxies such as the Pisces-Aries Supercluster also shows a similar number of spiral galaxies.
Spiral galaxies, barred spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies
While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born
Approximately 60% of all galaxies are spiral
It's not known to any degree of accuracy, but about 66% of all spiral galaxies are barred and about 60% of galaxies in the local Universe are spiral galaxies.
Yes. There are two types of spiral galaxies: "S" (normal spiral) and the less common "SB" (barred spiral, with an elongated center).
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
spiral galaxies (ours), irregular galaxies, and elliptical galaxies.
There at least 60 billion spiral galaxies in the universe because the spiral galaxies comprise of about 60 percent of all galaxies which are about 100 billion.
spiral, eliptical, cartwheel, barred spiral, and lenticular galaxies
No. It has only 3 big spiral galaxies, but dozens of dwarf galaxies.
because it was spiral
There are various ways of categorising galaxies, often based on Edwin Hubble's work on the shapes galaxies. Classifications often give the four main types of galaxies as: Spiral (including barred spiral), Elliptical, Lenticular and Irregular.
