No, galaxies are three dimensional. Do you mean are there galaxies without a bulge in the center? That answer is yes. Some are shaped like balls, some have irregular shapes, and the rest (which is really most of them) are shaped like discs. Almost all disc-shaped galaxies have a bulge in them, but there are a few that do not have any bulge at all- they are flat discs. Just like a CD.

What are words that describe elliptical galaxy?
They are shaped like a round galaxy and they are flat
How are the shapes of the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy related?
Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies are flat spirals in shape.
How do you know your galaxy is a flat disk?
We don't for sure as our vantage point does not allow us to determine that. However, by viewing other spiral galaxies (Andromeda, Sombrero galaxies) we can make a calculated guess that our galaxy is shaped in the same way.Also, while we can't see the galaxy as a whole, what we can see is consistent with it being a flat disk... specifically, we can even tell that it appears to be a barred spiral galaxy.
The circular but relatively flat portion of the galaxy is the?
spiral arm
What is a Galaxy bugle?
A bulge is a tight group of stars found at the center of most spiral galaxies. The bright spot an the center of the galaxy in the picture above is the bulge. If this galaxy were seen from the side the collection of stars would create a bulge (spheroid) expanding out from the otherwise rather flat galaxy.
What does a spiral galaxy look like when seen edge-on?
When seen edge-on, a spiral galaxy appears as a thin, flat disk with a bulging central region. The disk is often darkened by dust lanes along its plane, giving it a more defined edge. The spiral arms are not visible from this perspective.
What pattern does the Milky Way have?
The Milky Way galaxy is a flat spiral - one of the commonest galactic forms in the universe.
Why is the galaxy flat?
The galaxy is flat because of the way it formed and rotates. As the galaxy spins, gravity pulls the stars and gas towards the center, creating a flat, disk-like shape. This rotation helps maintain the flatness of the galaxy over time.
How are the shapes of the milky way and the Andromeda galaxy related?
Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies are flat spirals in shape.
What is the axis plane of the solar system compared to the axis plane of the galaxy?
The axis plane of the solar system is tilted by about 60 degrees relative to the average plane of the Milky Way galaxy. This means that the solar system is not perfectly aligned with the flat disk of the galaxy but is slightly inclined.
Is the universe shaped like a banana?
No one knows that because we have not explored outside the universe. If you are thinking about the galaxy, it looks like a straight line from Earth and a circular object from outside the galaxy.
What is a flat round or oval galaxy?
A flat round or oval galaxy, often referred to as an elliptical galaxy, is characterized by its smooth, featureless light profile and lack of distinct structures like spiral arms. These galaxies are typically composed of older stars, with minimal new star formation, and exhibit a range of shapes from nearly spherical to elongated ovals. They are classified based on their ellipticity, with more elongated galaxies appearing as "E" followed by a number indicating their flattening. Elliptical galaxies are commonly found in galaxy clusters and can vary significantly in size and mass.
