An elliptical galaxy appears as one giant star due to its smooth, featureless light profile and lack of distinct structures like spiral arms. This uniformity arises from the older population of stars, which are typically red and relatively low in luminosity, giving the galaxy a homogeneous appearance. Additionally, the vast distances involved mean that individual stars blend together, making the galaxy resemble a single, luminous point when viewed from Earth.
Messier 32 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy about 2.65 million light years away in the constellation AndromedaMaffei 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
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.
The large magellanic cloud galaxy has an irregular shape. It does not look like spiral and elliptical galaxies shown in pictures.
There is the potential that there would be a drastic difference in what we see at night. Since the rest of the galaxy is what we are viewing when we look at the star field, having an elliptical galaxy could create a 'void' of stars in certain section of the sky where the bands of the galaxy were no longer present (compared to the current system).
They look like eclipse ones like s82o.
it looks like a circle seen slightly on edge
it will look like something untidy
The three main types of galaxies are spiral galaxies (disk-shaped with a central bulge and spiral arms), elliptical galaxies (smooth and oval-shaped without spiral arms), and irregular galaxies (lack a distinct shape).
Galaxies get bigger by a process of merging. The gravitational attraction of the galaxy and the dark matter round it pull in satellite galaxies and these merge with the main galaxy. Eventually large galaxies merge to form large elliptical galaxies. look at the link below.
Giant Akitas look like giant Akitas. So do wolves.
Small Magellanic cloud galaxies are shaped irregularly. They do not follow a regular form pattern when they are being created.
like the green giant :)
