Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is a large spiral galaxy. Most public images of galaxies are of spiral galaxies because they are bright, filled with interesting structure such as their spiral arms, and they are common. Spiral galaxies have a key role in the evolution of galaxies in the Universe with significantly more of them formed early in the lifetime of the Universe and then they merge and evolve to create the Universe we see around us today.

我们的银河系是一个巨大的螺旋星系。 大多数公开的星系图像都是螺旋星系，因为它们很明亮，充满了有趣的结构，比如它们的旋臂，而且它们很常见。 螺旋星系在宇宙中星系的演化中起着关键作用，其中更多的星系在宇宙早期形成，然后它们合并和演化，创造了我们今天看到的宇宙。
