A Lenticular Galaxy is a galaxy that is in between that of a elliptical and a spiral galaxy.
They are disc galaxies that have used up all of their interstellar material and therefore have little, if any, star formation.
They can be difficult to distinguish between elliptical galaxies if viewed side on.

What are the three types of galaxies and what are there and shape?
There are actually four broad classifications : spiral, elliptical, lenticular and irregular. Spiral galaxies look, basically, like our Milky Way Galaxy, though there are some variations. Ellipticals can look elongated like a football, or almost spherical. Lenticulars are "lens shaped" galaxies. The irregular category covers just about everything else and include galaxies like our neighbors, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds . (Classifications vary and there are some that have only three types.)
