I heard some scientist said that our galaxy, the Milky Way was not a fully form galaxy. In that case, what is the requirment to be consider to be a fully forming galaxy? and what does a mature galaxy looks like?
It would help to get a context for this statement, because it could mean a lot of things. Generally, it is elliptical galaxies, which have no more star forming regions, or spiral arms that are considered the most mature, but it is possible he meant something else.
