It can appear to have different shapes because of the viewers point of view. Also Parallax can have an affect on it! Google it for further research look up Galaxy Parallax. Glad I Could help!

Another opinion:

All observers see the same shape of any galaxy, and no galaxy exhibits parallax,

as long as we're talking about observations taken anywhere in our solar system.
