Quote from this article: ''"The Milky Way Galaxy is now believed to be an SBb galaxy; previously, it was thought to be '''Sb like its giant companion, the Andromeda Galaxy'''." '' I'm not an astronomer... but the [[Andromeda Galaxy]] is described as a [[barred spiral galaxy]] in its Wikipedia article so wouldn't that make the Andromeda Galaxy an SBb and not an Sb?

"S" means lenticular ...
I'm not really an expert on the subject, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that "S" is short for 'spiral', not 'lenticular'. - Che Nuevara: Join the Revolution 20:53, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- That's true, S does mean Spiral. However E9, S0, SA0, SB0, SAB0 mean "lenticular". Lenticulars are spirals without arms, more or less. 132.205.93.90 18:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
