1920-1924: Spiral nebulae (galaxies) and the ,,Great Debate” questions:
1) Are they made of stars or gas?
2) Are they inside or outside of our own Galaxy? If outside, how far?
3) How big is our Galaxy? 30,000 l.y.? 300,000 l.y.?
1924: Two important discoveries are made by Edwin Hubble:
1) some individual stars (Cepheids) resolved in nearby “spiral nebulae”
2) distances to these stars, and thus to their host galaxies, estimated
=> conclusions: “spiral nebulae” are made of stars; they are independent stellar
islands far beyond the outskirts of our own Galaxy

Galaxies are classified by their morphology as:
elliptical galaxies (ellipticals) (E)
lenticular galaxies (lenticulars) (S0)
spiral galaxies (spirals)
- divided into: normal spirals (S)
barred spirals (SB)
Note: The Hubble classification does not include dwarf galaxies that dominate the galaxy counts (they are subdivided into dwarf irregular,
dwarf elliptical, dwarf spheroidal and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies).

NGC 1672: Barred Spiral Galaxy from Hubble
Image Credit: Hubble Legacy Archive, NASA, ESA; Processing & Copyright: Steve Cooper
Explanation: Many spiral galaxies have bars across their centers. Even our own Milky Way Galaxy is thought to have a modest central bar. Prominently barred
spiral galaxy NGC 1672, featured here, was captured in spectacular detail in an image taken by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. Visible are dark
filamentary dust lanes, young clusters of bright blue stars, red emission nebulas of glowing hydrogen gas, a long bright bar of stars across the center, and a
bright active nucleus that likely houses a supermassive black hole. Light takes about 60 million years to reach us from NGC 1672, which spans about 75,000
light years across. NGC 1672, which appears toward the constellation of the Dolphinfish (Dorado), is being studied to find out how a spiral bar contributes to
star formation in a galaxy's central regions.
