An ellipsoid

* is a three dimensional figure which is symmetrical around three perpendicular axes * has a cross-section in one plane which is a a circle, and the other planes cross-sections are ellipses. In other words, it is an egg-shaped object.

If you can stand an egg upright and you slice it through the middle parallel to the tabletop, you will see a circle, no matter where you slice.

If you were instead to slice downwards vertically in any direction you would see an ellipse.
