59 Conclusion Classifying galaxies and their evolution stages proved to be quite difficult. There are many varieties of galaxies. Their classification can give an idea of what stage of evolution they are in. The De Vaucoulers system is an extension of the Hubble sequence, and is the most commonly used. Astrophysics is a rapidly developing field of science. There is still much that we don t understand about galaxies. The technology to observe certain phenomena has only recently become available. Everything prior to the early-mid 1900 s was theory or just speculation. 4/21/2014 Josh Webster 55
