There are four basic types of galaxies.
1). Elliptical galaxies , which is the predominant galactic structure at this time.
2). Spiral galaxies are characterized by a central budget, and spiral arms where young stars are born in stellar nurseries.
3.). Barred spirals, are spiral galaxies which have a prominent bar like structure across their central bulge. The milky way is such a galaxy.
4). Finally we have irregular galaxies, which are smaller structures such as the large and small magellanic clouds which orbit the milky way in a spherical halo which is analogeous to the way that objects in the oort cloud orbit our solar system.
