The three main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, have a flat, rotating disk with arms that spiral outward, while elliptical galaxies are more rounded and featureless. Irregular galaxies lack a distinct shape and often result from gravitational interactions. We live in the Milky Way, which is classified as a barred spiral galaxy.
