 | | Hubble also developed a classification scheme for galaxies which, with minor revisions remains in use today. | | | Virtually all of the observable characteristics of galaxies are directly related to their Hubble Classification as shown below: | | | Tradionally the classification scheme is arranged in a "tuning fork diagram": |

| | M110 Andromeda, Type: Galaxy, Magnitude: 8.0 Size: 17x10' RA:00:40.4, Dec: 41:41, Optimal Scope Size: 200mm. | | | Part of this is due to the fact that at magnitude 9.8 and 5 arc-minute apparent size, M99 has an ASB.5 magnitudes brighter than M98. | | | I center on 2nd magnitude Beta Leonis and slew due east 5 degrees to 6th magnitude 6 Coma Berenices. |

| | Elliptical Galaxies |
| | The Hubble classification scheme uses the apparent ellipticity, so it refers to the projection of the galaxy's shape on the celestial sphere, not its actual shape. | | | The corresponding range of diameters is about 1/10 kpc up to about 100 kpc, and the absolute blue magnitude varies over a correspondingly large range from -8 to -23. | | | E7, the number is related to how flattened the ellipse appears to be, with E0 corresponding to no flattening and E7 to a very elongated ellipse. |

| | Elliptical galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Hubble classification of elliptical galaxies ranges from E0 for those that are most spherical, to E7, which are long and thin. | | | For example, our own Milky Way galaxy is known to be "digesting" a couple of small galaxies right now. | | | Current thinking is that an elliptical galaxy is the result of a long process where two galaxies of comparable mass, of any type, collide and merge. |

| | M 110 |
| | M110 is now often classified as a dwarf spheroid galaxy, not a generic elliptical one (this would make it the first ever known dwarf spheroid, of course). | | | The brightest of them, G73, is of about 15th magnitude and thus within the reach of large amateur telescopes; Steve Gottlieb has observed it with a 44-cm telescope together with M31 globulars. | | | Curiously, this galaxy was discovered by Charles Messier on August 10, 1773, and depicted on his fine drawing of the "Great Andromeda Nebula" and its companions published in 1807, but Messier did never himself include this object in his catalog, due to unknown reasons, perhaps a certain sloppiness in recording. |

| | M110 Galaxy in Andromeda |
| | This is a CCD image taken with an ST-8E at prime focus on a Takahashi Epsilon 250 at f3.4. | | | During the 20th century, several astronomers who studied Messier's work proposed that this galaxy and six others known to Messier be formally added to the original list, bringing the total number of objects in the Messier catalog to 110. | | | Many historians believe, however, that Messier may have been the first to observe the galaxy in 1773, though it was never entered into his original 18th century catalog. |

| | Elliptical Galaxies |
| | Elliptical galaxies are ellipsoidal agglomerations of stars, which usually do not contain much interstellar matter, and look smoothly like small wads in the telescope. | | | lenticulars, can hardly be distinguished from (and thus are sometimes misclassified as) elliptical galaxies; this has happened in the past to all four Messier lenticulars, among many others. | | | Sizes vary from considerably small systems (as M32 which is quite bright though) to really giant guys as M87. |
