Answer:

Elliptical galaxies

Step-by-step explanation:

Edwin Hubble classified galaxies into three categories

Elliptical

Spiral

Lenticular

The elliptical galaxies have an elipsoidal shape roughly. They have stars which are old and the primary light source of the galaxy. The formation of new stars is very limited. This increases the brightness of the galaxy. The mass of the stars are low. So, far the percentage elliptical galaxies is low compared to other galaxies.
