Galaxy type arranged by size?
That's a bit tricky. Each type of galaxy has a wide range of sizes, so you can't say, for example, that any elliptical galaxy is larger than any spiral galaxy - because they aren't - though I believe that elliptical galaxies do have a general tendency to be larger than the other types.
What is the shape of the shape of the centaurus a?
Centaurus A, also known as NGC 5128, is an elliptical galaxy with a distinctive peanut-like or elongated shape. This irregularity is primarily due to its interaction with a smaller galaxy, which has led to the presence of dust lanes and star-forming regions. The galaxy's structure includes a prominent central bulge and a disk-like component, giving it a unique appearance among elliptical galaxies.
What galaxies is shaped like a sphere or an egg?
Galaxies that are shaped like a sphere or an egg are typically classified as elliptical galaxies. These galaxies have an ellipsoidal shape, lacking the distinct structure of spiral galaxies, and can range from nearly spherical to more elongated forms. Examples of elliptical galaxies include M87 and the giant elliptical galaxy Centaurus A. Their smooth, featureless light profiles and older star populations distinguish them from other galaxy types.
Can diameter be measured in feet?
Yes. Although if you are measuring the diameter of an atom, or a galaxy, you might consider other units to be far more suitable.
What galaxy has an oval shape?
Elliptical galaxies have an oval shape. An example is the Messier 87.
Is an E7 galaxy a type of elliptical galaxy?
No, an EO galaxy is not a type of elliptical galaxy. They are a lenticular galaxy.
Do you exist in the elliptical galaxy?
We live in a spiral galaxy, not in an elliptical galaxy.
How many stars are in the elliptical galaxy?
An elliptical galaxy is a type of galaxy not a particular one.
What kind of galaxy is an elliptical galaxy?
An elliptical galaxy is an egg shaped galaxy that has an almost featureless image.
Which galaxy is the biggest spiral or giant elliptical?
The largest known galaxy is elliptical
Is the Milky Way Galaxy an Elliptical galaxy?
No. The Milky Way is believed to be a barred spiral galaxy.
How are elliptical galaxies different from spiral galaxy's?
An elliptical galaxy is round. A spiral galaxy is shaped like a spiral.
Which galaxy has no blue stars?
Elliptical Galaxy The Elliptical Galaxy has mostly old stars and blue stars are new stars.
Is the Andromeda galaxy an elliptical galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy.
What type of galaxy is ellipitcal?
An elliptical galaxy.
How large is an elliptical galaxy?
There is a wide variation between all the different elliptical galaxies. They can be as small as a tenth of a kiloparsec to over 100 kiloparsecs. Our Galaxy, the Milky Way is approximately 30 kiloparsecs in diameter. A parsec is approximately 3.26 light years. The range is much broader than any other type of galaxy.
What is the size of a elliptical galaxy?
An elliptical galaxy is a galaxy having an approximately ellipsoidal shape and a smooth, nearly featureless brightness profile. The galaxies range in shape from nearly spherical to highly flattened and have hundreds of millions to over one trillion stars.See link for more information
