Where does "Described as central bulge; dusty cloud around the bulge." go?
1. Elliptical
2. Irregular
1. Elliptical
The description "Described as central bulge; dusty cloud around the bulge" fits best under the category of 1. Elliptical galaxies.
To determine where the description "Described as central bulge; dusty cloud around the bulge" goes, we need to understand the characteristics of different types of galaxies.
1. Elliptical galaxies: These galaxies are typically rounded or elongated in shape, without any distinct spiral arms. They are characterized by a smooth, featureless appearance and no ongoing star formation. Elliptical galaxies do not have a bulge with a dusty cloud around it, so this description does not fit an elliptical galaxy.
2. Irregular galaxies: These galaxies have an irregular shape and do not fit into the categories of spiral or elliptical galaxies. Irregular galaxies often exhibit clumps of gas, dust, and young stars scattered throughout. They can have different features like clouds, filaments, or multiple clumps. Therefore, the description "Described as central bulge; dusty cloud around the bulge" is more likely to fit an irregular galaxy.
Based on this information, the correct answer is:
2. Irregular
