spiral galaxies and this is where most of the major nebulae are found.
The four distinguishing characteristics of the
spirals are: (a) they have more orderly, rotational motion than random motion (the rotation refers to the disk as a whole and means that the star orbits are closely confined to a narrow range of angles and are fairly circular); (b) they have some or a lot of gas and dust between the stars; (c) this means they can have new star
formation occuring
in the disk, particularly
in the
spiral arms; and (d) they have a
spiral structure.
