it is a because it is a swirl and it is actually called a spiral galaxy
There are three main types: spiral, elliptical and irregular.
No, the galaxy in which Earth is located is not classified as elliptical. The Milky Way galaxy, which contains our solar system, is classified as a spiral galaxy.

The milky way contains about a dozen black holes in the milky way.
It's doubtful if a civilization could still exist within an elliptical galaxy due to the age of the stars. If they could, then the sky would have a slight red tinge, nothing like the Milky Way.
No. The Milky Way is believed to be a barred spiral galaxy.
The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral, not elliptical, galaxy.
andromeda and milky way galaxy will collide and become a elliptical galaxy.
It isn't. Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy - a spiral galaxy.
There are three main types: spiral, elliptical and irregular.
No, the galaxy in which Earth is located is not classified as elliptical. The Milky Way galaxy, which contains our solar system, is classified as a spiral galaxy.
The elliptical galaxy Messier 87 (M87) is approximately 6.5 times more massive than the Milky Way. While the Milky Way has a mass estimated at about 1 trillion solar masses, M87's mass is estimated to be around 6.5 trillion solar masses. Additionally, M87 is larger in size, with a diameter roughly 2-3 times that of the Milky Way.
Elliptical? No. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are "dwarf" galaxies of "irregular" shape. Scientists have long believed that the SMC and LMC are "orbiting" the Milky Way, but recent analysis has cast some doubt on that; they may not actually be "orbiting".
The "Milky Way" is the name given to the galaxy in which we reside. The Milky Way is classified as a barred spiral galaxy type; a spiral galaxy with a central bar shaped structure composed of stars. The main galaxy classifications are spiral, elliptical and irregular .
There are two galaxies refereed to as the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy.Sagittarius dwarf Elliptically galaxy: is an elliptical loop shaped satellite galaxy of the Milky Way Galaxy.Sagittarius dwarf Irregular Galaxy: Lies about 3.4 million light-years away and is not within the Milky Way Galaxy.
All of them are. Generally elliptical galaxies are the oldest.
