Physics 101 - Galaxy worksheet

These links take you to a selection of images of galaxies. Using the Hubble "tuning fork" classification of galaxies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_sequence 
make notes of the various features you see in these galaxies. Use a blank sheet of paper, then just write the galaxy name and make some comments about its features: spiral arms, H II regions, OB associations, dust lanes, etc. Do all of these for credit.
