Irregular galaxies do not fit neatly into spiral or elliptical categories. Their shapes are often distorted by gravitational interactions or past collisions.
Despite their disorder, many irregular galaxies are rich in gas and actively forming stars. They can be surprisingly bright and energetic.
Studying irregular galaxies helps astronomers understand how interactions reshape galaxies over time.
