Do you want the name of a specific one or just something that sounds more intellectual than "You know, those PINWHEEL shaped ones"? The correct terminology is spiral galaxy. As for an example, the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy.
An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that doesn't have a specific shape like a pinwheel or an elliptical galaxy.
Those are the spiral galaxies. In our "immediate neighborhood" (part of our Local Group), we have M31, a.k.a. the Andromeda Galaxy.
In it's very early years, Nickelodeon used to be called Pinwheel.
No. It is a disk-shaped galaxy, like a pinwheel, with several curved radial arms and a large mass at the center. The closest thing to a "clump" of stars are the so-called "globular clusters" which are more spherical in organization than other common galaxies.
The Pinwheel Galaxy (Messier 101 or NGC 5457)
A spiral galaxy has the shape of a pinwheel. Our solar system is in a spiral galaxy that we call the Milky Way.
the pinwheel galaxy is also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457
The "pinwheel" shape is usually called "spiral".
The Pinwheel Galaxy was created on 2003-07-15.
An hourglass is another example of a shape galaxies may form in.

No, the Milky Way is not known as the Pinwheel arm. The Pinwheel Galaxy is a separate galaxy located in the constellation of Ursa Major. The Milky Way is the galaxy in which our solar system resides.

A "spiral" galaxy.
It is likely a spiral galaxy. Spiral galaxies are characterized by their pinwheel shape and are composed of a central bulge surrounded by spiral arms containing stars, gas, and dust. Examples of spiral galaxies include the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy.
