Ok, so there are four distinct types of galaxies: elliptical, spiral, spiral barred and irregular. Although there are different types, we also learned that each galaxy contains the same elements, but these are arranged differently for each type.

Galaxies can be categorized by their visual structure! 🌌

Around 77% of galaxies observed by man are Spiral galaxies. Second most popular are Elliptical, making up 10-15%.

Former spiral galaxies NGC 4038 and NGC 4039 –– the Antennae Galaxies –– are a few hundred million years into a merger that will result in a single, elliptical galaxy.

The map of my world. I drew the first draft of it when I was 4 and had no idea how maps work so the South was at the top. Ever since I've drawn it with South being the top and North being the bottom out of habit.

This world is an empty elliptical sphere.

Still can't sleep on the gulf disturbance, which has an elliptical but closed circulation.

Slow movement expected, and it may be Tues night before it comes ashore, so a quick TS is not out of the question.

Regardless, lots of rain coming. 6+ inches forecast along coastal TX.

Made the mistake of using the elliptical at the gym this morning. I lasted 15 minutes before I had to stop because I was exhausted.

A fallstreak hole (also known as a "hole punch cloud") is a large circular or elliptical gap that can appear in cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds ( seen yesterday from Flintshire, North Wales ) ~ Thanks to mary saifelden

Interesting you mentioned mysterious clouds, so here’s something of possibly little consequence from today in Kagawa, Japan; and a link to an elliptical/ circular shape I found in the clouds over the sea near my house from a few months ago . https://t.co/JkwSlIyiwU
