Irregular Galaxies
- Structure: Lack a defined shape or structure, often appearing chaotic and disorganized. They usually have abundant gas and dust, which fosters new star formation.
- Appearance: Can have an uneven distribution of stars, gas, and dust.
- Irregular I: More complex structure, often with distinct clumps of star-forming regions. Example: The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
- Irregular II: More irregular and less structured, often with less prominent star-forming regions. Example: The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).
