Is it true that most galaxies are elliptical?
Messier 32 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy about 2.65 million light years away in the constellation AndromedaMaffei 1 is a giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation about 10 billion light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is the closest giant elliptical galaxy to the Milky Way
What is one way that an elliptical galaxy differs from the other types of galaxies?
Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.
What shape is a magellanic cloud galaxie?
The large magellanic cloud galaxy has an irregular shape. It does not look like spiral and elliptical galaxies shown in pictures.
If you lived in a elliptical galaxy how would the nighttime sky look different?
There is the potential that there would be a drastic difference in what we see at night. Since the rest of the galaxy is what we are viewing when we look at the star field, having an elliptical galaxy could create a 'void' of stars in certain section of the sky where the bands of the galaxy were no longer present (compared to the current system).
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.)
What galaxies are elliptical?
They look like eclipse ones like s82o.
What does a elliptical look like?
it looks like a circle seen slightly on edge
What do an irregular galaxy look like?
it will look like something untidy
How does the galaxy get bigger?
Galaxies get bigger by a process of merging. The gravitational attraction of the galaxy and the dark matter round it pull in satellite galaxies and these merge with the main galaxy. Eventually large galaxies merge to form large elliptical galaxies. look at the link below.
What dog looks like a giant Akita?
Giant Akitas look like giant Akitas. So do wolves.
What tree has nuts that look like giant acorns?
They don't just look like giant acorns, they are giant acorns. They come from the Burr Oak, Quercus macrocarpa.
What shape is a large magellanic cloud galaxy?
Small Magellanic cloud galaxies are shaped irregularly. They do not follow a regular form pattern when they are being created.
