The galaxy presents an elliptical morphology, appearing elongated with a cigar-like shape. Its core exhibits a concentrated, bright, yellowish-white luminosity, suggesting an older stellar population. The galaxy's light gradually fades outwards, displaying a more diffuse, bluish tint on its outer edges. This suggests the presence of some younger stars or a degree of ongoing star formation activity in the outer regions, though the inner region appears to be comprised of a population of more stable, older stars. While appearing largely undisturbed, there are suggestions of subtle asymmetries in the outer halo, potentially hinting at minor gravitational interactions or past mergers, though no major disturbances are visible.
