Irregular or Inexperienced

by Smee2
Just the second galaxy, and already I can't categorize this. Is this a spherical galaxy with an irregularity or a weird spiral?

Hi Smee2 and welcome to the Zoo,
You are correct, this one is really not easy to classy.
It's actually a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
I'd classify it as a disturbed spiral with a noticeable bulge (but, hey, that is just me).For some galaxies there is no correct answer, so just answer the questions as well as you can!
Happy hunting !😄

ElithabethB,
Thanks so much for the feedback.
It was quite discouraging to find myself incapable of being any help on only the second galaxy!
I will soldier on in the hopes that I'll be of some use.
Kind regards,
