Les galaxies sont réparties, suivant leur aspect, en trois grandes catégories: elliptiques, spirales et irrégulières. [...] Les spirales proprement dites, lorsqu'elles sont vues de profil, sont toujours plus aplaties que les nébuleuses elliptiques. Vues de face, leur structure spiralée montre une nette symétrie de révolution. 1, record 2, French, - galaxie%20spirale
