Most elliptical galaxies primarily consist of older stars and lack significant amounts of gas and dust. This composition results in minimal new star formation, leading to a more uniform and smooth appearance compared to spiral galaxies. Additionally, they typically have a more spherical or elongated shape and can vary widely in size and brightness.
What else can I help you with?
Most elliptical galaxies have only what?
Older stars
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.
Is it true that elliptical galaxies are sometimes called dwarf galaxies?
You can have dwarf elliptical galaxies.
What are the 3 common galaxies?
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
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 is the most common type of galaxy in the universe is?
All galaxies appear to be unique; they are all equally uncommon. Except ours; the Milky Way is the only galaxy to have US in it. Edit : Galaxies are classified into various types. The most uncommon type is known as "Irregular".
What are the types of galaxies What are their differences?
spiral, elliptical, and irregular. The only differences are shape. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like an ellipse, spiral galaxies like a spiral or pinwheel, and irregular don't have a uniform shape
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
