Messier 32 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy about 2.65 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda
Maffei 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
Age. An elliptical galaxy is much older.
It also does not show any signs of arms or new star formation.
it is true because there are lots and lots of galaxies that are ellipitical

Is it true that elliptical galaxies are sometimes called dwarf galaxies?
You can have dwarf elliptical galaxies.
Are most galaxies elliptical?
Yes
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.
Elliptical galaxies probably do not rotate true or false?
yes they do
Is this true an elliptical galaxy has mostly old stars?
Both - all galaxies contain young and old stars.
Most elliptical galaxies have only what?
Older stars
What is three dimensional galaxies that can be shaped like a football that can be shaped like a football?
I think elliptical galaxies are the galaxies you are referring to. Scientist normally describe them as a flatted disk shape. These galaxies contain mainly older stars.
How are galaxies classifyed?
spiral galaxies (ours), irregular galaxies, and elliptical galaxies.
What galaxy is smaller than a Spiral and Elliptical Galaxy?
By virtue of their name, dwarf galaxies are smaller. Most galaxies are dwarf galaxies.
What are the two most prominent types of galaxies in the universe?
Spiral and Elliptical
What are similarities between elliptical and spiral galaxies?
While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born
Are elliptical galaxies very bright and old?
Elliptical galaxies are generally old but not very bright
