Observe some regular, irregular, and very peculiar galaxies.
This is a visualization of Edwin Hubble's Galaxy Classification Scheme. Photographs of different galaxies can be clicked on and enlarged so students can begin to distinguish among the different shapes/classifications of the galaxies. By viewing the photographs of the galaxies on this site, students can learn about galaxy classification. They can develop a graphic organizer or illustration of the different classifications.
