= Sunburst galaxy
{wiki=Sunburst_galaxy}
The term "Sunburst Galaxy" can refer to a specific type of galaxy or a specific galaxy that exhibits certain features, but it is not a broadly used classification in astronomy. It is sometimes associated with the galaxy known as IC 1151, which is notable for its distinctive appearance that resembles a sunburst pattern due to its spiral arms and the way it emits light. Galaxies are typically classified into various types, such as spiral, elliptical, and irregular.
