Are nebulas in elliptical galaxies?
Because of their age, elliptical galaxies are believed to have older stars and less gas and dust in their insterstellar medium than other types of galaxies, and thus their nebulae are less common. However, nebulae are presumed to exist in almost all galaxies; and some recent observations hint that the central black holes of elliptical galaxies may tend to preserve interstellar gas by preventing it from cooling enough for star formation.
Why some elliptical galaxies are lens shaped where as others are quite spherical?
Very lens-shaped elliptical galaxies have a high amount of reddish stars. Hence both their shape (the "spiral arms" have pulled inward over time) and the color of the stars implies they are very old galaxies. Spherical galaxies - I'm not up enough on that topic, so I will leave that part of the answer to another.
What are some physical characteristics of quasars?
They're elliptical shaped and the typically have a red center because of all the red giants that form in this type of galaxy.
Where in space would you look for a globular cluster?
In the Milky Way galactic halo, orbiting the galactic center in a long elliptical orbit around the galactic center
What types of stars do elliptical galaxies usually have?
Yes. However, the current rate of star creation is less than when the galaxies were younger.Yes. However, the current rate of star creation is less than when the galaxies were younger.Yes.

Are elliptical galaxies egg-shaped galaxies without spiral arms of interstellar gas and dust?
No. Elliptical galaxies are some of the oldest galaxies.They are also called early galaxies. The elliptical galaxies are made of low massed stars, a sparse interstellar medium and very low star forming characteristics.
Are there bigger galaxies than the Andromeda?
Yes. Some giant elliptical galaxies contain tens of trillions of stars.
Can 2 spiral galaxies create a elliptical galaxy?
yes they can and if that happens the galaxy will be destroyes :)
What are the names of some galaxies in the Virgo cluster?
M87 is one of the most prominent galaxies followed by the elliptical galaxy Messier 49.
What are some other shapes of galaxies?
spiral, barred spiral, elliptical, irregular, and peculiar

What are the different names of galaxies in the universe?
Galaxies in the universe have different names based on their shape and structure. Some common types of galaxies include spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Each type has its own unique characteristics and features.
What do galaxy's have in common?
All galaxies are massive clusters of stars scattered across the universe. Many galaxies take the same form, for instance, spiral and elliptical galaxies. Some galaxies also have a black hole in their center.
Why do some elliptical galaxies appear to be perfect spheres?
Some elliptical galaxies appear to be perfect spheres due to their isotropic distribution of stars and lack of significant rotation. This spherical shape results from the gravitational forces acting uniformly in all directions, leading to a smooth, rounded appearance. Additionally, the random motion of stars within the galaxy contributes to this uniformity, as there is no preferred axis of rotation, unlike spiral galaxies. Consequently, these elliptical galaxies maintain a more symmetrical and spherical structure.
What are the names of some elliptical galaxies?
M32 - DwarfM49M59M60 (NGC 4649)M87 (NGC 4486) - SupergiantM89M105 (NGC 3379)Maffei 1, the closest giant elliptical galaxy.
