Namesake of the Hubble Space Telescope, Edwin Hubble authored a paper in 1926 that outlined the classification of some four hundred galaxies by their appearance \u2014 as either spiral, barred spiral, lenticular, elliptical, or irregular. This straightforward typology proved extremely influential, and the detailed schemes astronomers use today are still based on Edwin Hubble\u2019s work. NGC 3430 itself is a spiral lacking a central bar with open, clearly defined arms \u2014 classified today as an SAc galaxy.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/missions\/hubble\/hubble-images-a-classic-spiral\/?rand=772114\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NGC 3430\u2019s distinct shape may be one reason why astronomer Edwin Hubble used to it to help define his classification of galaxies.
