They are well beyond our Solar System, but still within the bounds of the Milky Way galaxy. To really venture out into the cosmos we need to search for other galaxies, and the spring, which is \u201cGalaxy Season\u201d, is an opportune time. Below you will find an <a href=\"#GalaxyIntroduction\">Introduction to Galaxies<\/a> followed by some of the <a href=\"#GalaxiesNightSky\">Galaxies visible in the night sky<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"GalaxyIntroduction\"><strong>An Introduction to Galaxies<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Galaxies are, in general, large groups of stars that are gravitationally bound together. Most formed (according to NASA) around 10 to 13.6 billion years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">There are three main types of galaxies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Spiral Galaxies<\/strong>, such as the Milky Way, are well organized groups of stars. They generally are flattened into a disk shape and resemble a pinwheel with spiral arms extending from a central core or bar. Newer stars and star-forming regions are typically found in the spiral arms. However, they also exhibit a halo of older stars, globular clusters, and dark matter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Elliptical Galaxies<\/strong>&nbsp;have less structure and appear more like ellipses (hence the name). Most may have resulted from galactic collisions. Elliptical galaxies typically contain older stars and have fewer new star forming regions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Irregular Galaxies<\/strong>&nbsp;have a variety of shapes and are less organized than the other two classifications. They may have resulted from other galaxies passing by and disrupting the structure of those that are more organized. They could also form from galactic collisions and exhibit both older and newer stars depending on the initial structure of the colliding galaxies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galaxy-shapes.en_.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"387\" data-attachment-id=\"23825\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/galaxies\/galaxy-shapes-en-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/galaxy-shapes.en_.png?fit=500%2C387&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,387\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"galaxy-shapes.en\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Types of Galaxies.

Non-barred spirals are the more traditional spiral galaxies exhibiting a central bright core. Barred spirals have a bar of stars at their center. It is thought that the bar is a result of stars whose motion has become disrupted and, as such, they\u2019ve spread out into a barred shape. The folks at NASA estimate that 2\/3 of the spiral galaxies are barred.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">A few galaxies are classified as&nbsp;<strong>Lenticular<\/strong>, which is a hybrid between elliptical and spiral. They have a central core, but lack the arms found in spirals. The arms may have faded over time or were lost in galactic collisions. Lenticular galaxies typically contain older stars and do not have the star forming regions seen in spirals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Around 10% of galaxies (according to NASA) are classified as active. These are typically ancient galaxies with cores much brighter than the stars themselves. This indicates that some \u201cactivity\u201d is taking place near the core. Most likely a large amount of material from the accretion disk is falling into the supermassive black hole at the galactic center. This creates an outpouring of radiation.&nbsp;<strong>Seyfert galaxies<\/strong>&nbsp;look normal in visible light but are active in the infrared spectrum.&nbsp;<strong>Quasars<\/strong>&nbsp;are another classification of active galaxies that are extremely luminous and in their early stages of formation. Some of these are classified as&nbsp;<strong>Blazars<\/strong>&nbsp;when much of the energy output is pointed directly at the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Larger galaxies, such as the Milky Way, have smaller&nbsp;<strong>satellite galaxies<\/strong>. Two of the most prominent are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These are both companion galaxies of the Milky Way. Unfortunately, neither are visible from the northern hemisphere. You\u2019ll need to travel south to view these in the night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">History<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For a long time, galaxies were considered to be nebulae within the Milky Way. In 1920,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/the-great-debate\/\">The Great Debate<\/a>&nbsp;was held between Harlow Shapley and Herber Curtis over the nature of these objects. The younger Shapley thought that the Milky Way was the extent of the universe. Although he did recognize that the Sun was off to one side of the Milky Way\u2019s center. Curtis, the older and more established of the two, argued that many nebulae were island universes well beyond the bounds of the Milky Way. Although, he thought the Sun was located near the center of the Milky Way. There is no definitive agreement as to who won the debate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In 1929, when Edwin Hubble measured the distance to the Andromeda Nebula, it was finally proven that it was well outside the Milky Way. He found that Andromeda contained Cepheid variables, for which Henrietta Levitt had previously developed a relationship between the Cepheid\u2019s periodicity and its magnitude. From that relationship, the distance could be determined. Hubble\u2019s estimate was around one million light years \u2013 far short of the modern 2 \u00bd million light years distance to Andromeda. However, it was clear that Andromeda was beyond the estimated 100,000 light year extend of the Milky Way. Hubble and other astronomers soon calculated the distance to other nebulae finding they were, in fact, island universes or what we call galaxies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Tuning Fork Diagram<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As noted above, galaxies come in different sizes and shapes. In 1926, Edwin Hubble developed his tuning-fork diagram of galaxies, which described Ellipticals (E) and Spirals (S). Hubble may have theorized that galaxies evolved over time from Elliptical to Spiral.&nbsp;In any case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Elliptical galaxies are further distinguished by a number depicting the degree of ellipticity. In other words, E0 for a circle up to E7 for a very elliptical shape.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">The Spiral galaxies are first divided into barred (Sb) and non-barred (S). They are then assigned a lower-case letter (a to c) to indicate how \u201ctightly\u201d their arms are wound and how bright their center bulge is \u2013 (a) very tightly wound with a bright center to (c) very loosely wound with a very dim center.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">S0 is an intermediate classification between ellipticals and spirals \u2013 most likely lenticulars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/heic9902o.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"700\" data-attachment-id=\"23827\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/galaxies\/the-hubble-tuning-fork-classification-of-galaxies\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/heic9902o.jpeg?fit=850%2C700&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"850,700\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;NASA \\u0026amp; ESA&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Galaxies are very important fundamental building blocks of the Universe.

Although this scheme, also known as the Hubble tuning fork diagram, is now considered somewhat too simple, the basic ideas still hold. The diagram is roughly divided into two parts: elliptical galaxies (ellipticals) and spiral galaxies (spirals). Hubble gave the ellipticals numbers from zero to seven, which characterize the ellipticity of the galaxy - \\&quot;E0\\&quot; is almost round, \\&quot;E7\\&quot; is very elliptical. The spirals were assigned letters from \\&quot;a\\&quot; to \\&quot;c,\\&quot; which characterize the compactness of their spiral arms. \\&quot;Sa\\&quot; spirals, for example, are tightly wound whereas \\&quot;Sc\\&quot; spirals are more loosely wound. Also it is worth noting that the sizes of the round central regions in spirals - the so-called bulges - increase in size the more tightly the spiral arms are wound. There are indications pointing to a very close connection between the bulges of certain galaxies (Hubble types \\&quot;S0\\&quot;, \\&quot;Sa\\&quot; and \\&quot;Sb\\&quot;) and elliptical galaxies. They may very well be similar objects. In fact the spiral galaxies are sub-divided into two groups - normal spirals and barred spirals. The most important difference between these two groups is the bar of stars that runs through the central bulge in barred spirals. The spiral arms in barred spirals usually start at the end of the bar instead of from the bulge. Barred spirals have a \\&quot;B\\&quot; in their classification. An \\&quot;SBc\\&quot; is thus a loosely wound barred spiral galaxy. \\&quot;S0,\\&quot; or lenticular galaxies, are in the transition zones between ellipticals and spirals and bridge these two types. Hubble found that some galaxies are difficult to put in the context of the tuning fork diagram.

It is this dark matter that forms the scaffolding upon which galaxies are built.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"GalaxiesNightSky\"><strong>Galaxies in the Night Sky<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For those of you who want to search out galaxies in the night sky, start with the big one. That\u2019s the Andromeda galaxy (M31), which is in the constellation <a href=\"https:\/\/iauarchive.eso.org\/static\/public\/constellations\/gif\/AND.gif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andromeda<\/a>. It is around 2 \u00bd million light years away and is the other large spiral galaxy in the Milky Way\u2019s Local Group. It is the farthest object we can see with our naked eyes \u2013 although, it is a bit of a challenge for me. Make sure to duck in another 4 to 5 billion years as the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies merge and form the new, probably elliptical galaxy, Milkomeda. Although, some are now saying there is only a 50% chance of the two galaxies colliding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Andromeda stretches across a width four times that of the Earth\u2019s moon, so it\u2019s hard to see all of it with most telescopes. Binoculars might be a better choice for this one. When you do spot Andromeda make sure to find its two small satellite galaxies (M32 and M110).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2534\" data-attachment-id=\"23891\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/m31-result_13680s-sept-13-oct-16-2025-l-pro-cropped-graxpert-spcc-cc-sharpen-vlhm-15-3-0-cc-full-denoise-1-0-s-curve-stars-9-noise-165\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C2534&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,2534\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"M31 result_13680s Sept 13 Oct 16 2025 L-Pro Cropped GraXpert SPCC CC sharpen VLHM .15 3.0 CC full denoise 1.0 S curve Stars 9 Noise 165\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?fit=1024%2C1014&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C2534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23891\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4961777777777778;width:730px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C297&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1014&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C760&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1520&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fas37.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/M31-result_13680s-Sept-13-Oct-16-2025-L-Pro-Cropped-GraXpert-SPCC-CC-sharpen-VLHM-.15-3.0-CC-full-denoise-1.0-S-curve-Stars-9-Noise-165-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C2027&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Andromeda Galaxy (M31)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">From Andromeda, work your way south down to the constellation of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/iauarchive.eso.org\/static\/public\/constellations\/gif\/TRI.gif\">Triangulum<\/a>&nbsp;for the Triangulum spiral galaxy (M33).
