Choose the statement that is NOT true of a galaxy. O Galaxies take different shapes depending on how the stars are distributed and oriented. O Agreat island of stars held together by gravity. All galaxies are basically of the same shape and consist mainly of a discs and a halos. All the stars in a galary orbit a common center
The type of galaxy that consists almost entirely of old stars and is thus less blue (more yellow and reddish) than the other types is [Select] and our Milky Way Galaxy is a [Select] barred spiral elliptical irregular F3 [Select] जी 4 4») Q Search DII de in % 5 spiral all of these galaxy types consist mostly of very old stars A 2 LO F7 & 7 PrtScn 8 Home P End
Which of the following statements about the different types (shapes) of galaxies are correct?  (choose all that apply) whatever type a galaxy is at its birth, that’s what it will be for all time   what type we see a galaxy to be just depends on the angle at which we happen to see it; all galaxies look roughly the same in shape   all galaxies start out as ellipticals, but some later evolve to be spirals and irregulars   collisions and mergers between galaxies can sometimes change a galaxy’s type (shape)
