Irregular galaxies exhibit no symmetry, distinguishing them from more structured types like spiral or elliptical galaxies. They often have chaotic shapes and are characterized by a lack of a defined form, resulting from gravitational interactions or recent mergers with other galaxies. Examples of irregular galaxies include the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which display uneven distributions of stars and gas. Their asymmetrical nature reflects the complex processes that shape them over cosmic time.
One type of symmetry is rotation. The second type of symmetry is translation. The third type of symmetry is reflection.
