Question
which phrase accurately describes an elliptical galaxy?
○ may be spiral - shaped
○ has no recognizable shape
○ has no new stars being formed
○ has a lot of gas and dust between stars
Brief Explanations
Elliptical galaxies are smooth, oval-shaped systems with very little interstellar gas and dust, which are required for new star formation. Spiral shapes define spiral galaxies, irregular galaxies lack a recognizable shape, and abundant interstellar gas/dust is characteristic of spiral/irregular galaxies, not elliptical ones.
