Some white witches: "Eclipses are bad dark energy you must never do anything on an eclipse night it's negative vibes horrible things will happen!"
My ancestors: "A lunar eclipse? Oh you mean the giant sky dog that eats the moon for fun. It'll spit it back out when it gets tired of it. Carry on now."

(i hope that background colour works because I legitimately spent an hour trying everything in the visible light spectrum and nearly went insane)

TYPES OF GALAXIES, PART 5:
Irregular Galaxies
The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of NGC 5264, an irregular dwarf galaxy.
Irregular galaxies tend to have unusual shapes, like toothpicks, rings, or little groupings of stars. Their sizes also range from dwarf irregular galaxies, with 100 million times the Sun's mass, to large ones weighing 10 billion solar masses.
Astronomers think these galaxies’ odd shapes are sometimes the result of interactions with others. For example, one spiral galaxy passing another with a stronger gravitational pull could lose some of its material, become distorted, and morph into a new shape. Some, like gas-rich dwarf galaxies, may be new, formed by material pulled from such encounters. Or perhaps when galaxies collide, they create a larger, oddly shaped mashup. Some scientists theorize that some large irregular galaxies could represent an intermediate step between spiral and elliptical galaxies.
Irregular galaxies born from galaxy interactions or collisions typically host a mix of older and younger stars, depending on the characteristics and composition of the original galaxies. Irregular galaxies may also hold significant amounts of gas and dust – essential ingredients for making new stars.
It's expected that when our galaxy collides with Andromeda, it will form an irregular galaxy.
