Lesson 1, introductory

 
elliptical or spiral

 Start by practicing how to distinguish the basic shapes of galaxies: “ellipticals” and “spirals”!
 
 
トレーニング2中級編

 

Among the ellipticals and spirals, you may find partially distorted “interacting galaxies.” Here you will practice how to identify interacting galaxies!
 
 
トレーニング3上級編

 

Collisions between galaxies leave tell-tale signs such as rings and fan-like structures. Based on Lessons 1 & 2, let’s classify galaxies according to these detailed structures.
