Summary

Description
English: A tuning-fork diagram of the Hubble galaxy classification scheme. Elliptical galaxies are sorted according to how flattened they appear on the sky, a property which may not correspond to the galaxy's actual morphology. Spirals are divided into ordinary and barred, then sorted according to how tightly the arms are wound. The S0 category is applied to galaxies with disk shapes, but no obvious spiral structure.
