Galaxies shaped like footballs are known as elliptical galaxies. They typically have an elongated, oval shape and lack the distinct structures, such as spiral arms, found in spiral galaxies. Elliptical galaxies can vary in size and brightness, and they often contain older stars with little ongoing star formation.

Are there more galaxies in the universe we haven't seen yet?

Yes. An example was the recent photograph by the Hubble Space Telescope of an apparently blank area of sky. Lots of new and distant galaxies appeared that we had never seen before. As we get bigger telescopes (especially in space), we will discover more.

What other galaxcies are there?

There are countless other galaxies in the universe. Early astronomers could tell that they weren't comets or nebula, although they looked sort of like those. Charles Messier, a French astronomer, was very interested in finding comets, and catalogued a numbered list of objects that looked like comets, but were not. Later research revealed that many of his "messier objects" are in fact other galaxies. So the Andromeda Galaxy was #31 on Messier's list; "M31". Shortly after the Hubble space telescope went operational, NASA pointed the Hubble at a tiny area of "completely blank" sky, an area that contained hardly any stars. The resultant "Deep Field Survey" revealed that there may be as many galaxies in the universe as there are stars in the Milky Way.


The milky way is classified as an blank galaxy?

The Milky Way doesn't really rotate around anything. Our home galaxy and nearby Andromeda are pretty much at the center of what is called a local group of gravitationally bound galaxies. As such, it is unsupportable to say that the Milky Way rotates around anything else.

If you traveled in space long enough and far enough would the universe start shrinking in your rear view mirror to the point where it would look like a single point of light in the sky?

Probably not, although we do not understand the grand structure of the universe enough to be sure - and considering the scale of the universe, we probably never will. One interesting point is the Hubble Space Telescope "Deep Field Survey". Early in the Hubble's life, astronomers pointed the HST at a "blank" area of the sky, an area with NO KNOWN OBJECTS. That's pretty rare; most of the sky is filled with stars. But the Deep Field Survey discovered that in that "blank" area of sky, there were only a couple of stars - and thousands upon thousands of very distant galaxies, galaxies so faint that no Earth-based telescope could detect them. It seems unlikely that you can get "outside" of the universe.
