Which mechanism causes elliptical galaxy shapes rather than perfect spheres?

💡 Explanation

Spacetime curvature created by concentrated mass warps space, causing anisotropic gravitational effects on the galaxy’s collapse during formation. Because spacetime interacts with the mass, it prevents a uniform collapse; therefore, a flattened elliptical form develops rather than a sphere.
