Do you like disk galaxies?
I make it easy.
It is very impossible to make.
Here is a picture

I would call it "elliptical " but yeah.

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

Lenticar? No, its a spiral...

A hybrid between spiral and elliptical is called lenticular, like the one monmarfori is showing.

It's flat but doesn't have spiral arms.

Nice galaxy, well done.

Isn't it an E0 elliptical?

Yeah thats what I though. Arent elliptical flat too? And I never head a category of "disc" galaxies.

No, elliptical are spheres. Spirals are flat.

The hybrid, lenticular, is flat but doesn't have spiral arms.
