This galaxy presents an elliptical morphology, appearing elongated with a cigar-like shape. The central region exhibits a high degree of smoothness and is more luminous than the surrounding areas, indicating a higher density of stars. The overall color is predominantly reddish-orange, suggesting an older stellar population with lower levels of ongoing star formation. There is some evidence of bluer hues in the outer regions, hinting at possible areas of younger, hotter stars, but these features are not prominent. There is a faint possible tidal disturbance on the left-hand side of the image, although this could also be due to noise. There is no apparent spiral structure or evidence of significant recent merger activity. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively quiescent system, likely dominated by older stars.
