Elliptical galaxies is a galaxy that shaped a ball.
But that picture is a spiral disk galaxy.

A hybrid between spiral and elliptical is called lenticular, like the one monmarfori is showing. Smiley
It's flat but doesn't have spiral arms. Smiley
Nice galaxy, well done. Smiley

No, elliptical are spheres. Spirals are flat. Smiley
The hybrid, lenticular, is flat but doesn't have spiral arms. Smiley
