Drag the items on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right Reset Help Galaxy NGC 4594 Galaxy M87 Galaxy M101 Galaxy NGC 4414 Galaxy NGC 1300 is an Sab because it is an edge-on spiral with a large bulge. It would be difficult to say whether it has a bar or not because it is edge-on. looks like a face-on Sa or Sb. It does not have a visible bar, and its arms seem tightly wrapped. is an elliptical; it is pretty round so it is probably an EO. looks like a face-on Sa or Sb, but the arms are not as loosely wrapped as an Sc. There does not seem to be an obvious bar. is identified in the caption as a barred spiral. It is an SBa or SBb, given how tightly its spiral arms are wrapped. Submit Request Answer

1. Galaxy 4594 . It is a Sab. It is a edge on spiral with a unusually large central bulge.

2. Galaxy NGC 4414 . It does not have a visible bar and its arm are tightly packed.

3. Galaxy M87 . It is  ellipsoidal shape typical of most giant elliptical galaxies. It is thus given EO

4. Galaxy M101 - Arms are not as loosely packed as Sc. There does not seem to be an obvious bar.

5. Galaxy 1300. It is also known as barred spiral galaxy.
