We show quantitatively whether giant elliptical galaxies would be visible at for UV wavelenghts if they were placed at moderate red shift of 0.4-0.5. On the basis of simple cosmological tests, we conclude that giant elliptical galaxies can be detectable up to the red shift of 0.4-0.5 in the proposed GALEX(Galaxy Evolution Explorer) Deep Imaging Survey. We also show that obtaining UV color index such as $m_{1550}$ - V from upcoming GALEX and SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) observations should be feasible.
