INVESTIGATE GALAXY SHAPES
How can you classify galaxies according to shape?
MATERIALS: Galaxy Photos
PROCEDURE
1. Sort the galaxies into different groups according to their shapes. You may need a group for
galaxies that do not fit in other groups.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
1. How many groups did you sort the galaxies into?
2. Describe each group briefly, and list which galaxies you put in each group.
CHALLENGE
3. What is the connection between the apparent shape of a galaxy and the galaxy's
relationship to the viewer? Hint: Think about how an edge-on view of a compact disc differs
from a view of it lying flat on a table.
