i have the same question..... it's, do you know the name of a galaxy that is shaped like a wheel, but doesn't have curved arms. please help!!!
Yes, the word you are referring to is a "spiral galaxy." Spiral galaxies are disk-shaped cosmic structures with arms that extend outward from a central bulge. However, there is another type of spiral galaxy known as a "barred spiral galaxy" that features a central bar structure instead of a bulge. This gives the galaxy the appearance of a wheel without curved arms.
