Lenticular Galaxy

A lenticular galaxy is a type of Galaxy which is an intermediate between an Elliptical Galaxy and a Spiral Galaxy in the Hubble Sequence Classification Scheme . Lenticular galaxies are Disc Galaxies (like spiral galaxies) which have used up or lost their Interstellar Matter (like elliptical galaxies). Because of their ill-defined Spiral Arms , if they are inclined face-on it is often difficult to distinguish between them and elliptical galaxies.
