An irregular galaxy is a type of galaxy that does not have a distinct shape or structure like spiral or elliptical galaxies. They lack the organized rotation or symmetry of other galaxy types and often have a more chaotic and irregular appearance. Irregular galaxies typically contain large amounts of gas, dust, and young stars, and they often exhibit intense star formation activity. They can vary greatly in size, with some being small dwarf galaxies while others are much larger. Examples of irregular galaxies include the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which are satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.
