      Spiral galaxies are fairly pretty:

      Then there are interacting galaxies – two galaxies colliding together:

      Then there are small irregular galaxies:

      Elliptical galaxies are big blobs, but this one has lots of interesting-shaped friends:

      Which ones do you think are prettiest?

      I’m quite partial to barred spiral ones myself, but I may be a bit biased cause I live in one 🙂
