This galaxy exhibits a prominent, elongated shape, strongly suggesting it is an elliptical galaxy or a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. The light distribution appears relatively smooth, with a centrally concentrated brightness that gradually fades towards the outer edges. There is little evidence of spiral arms or distinct dust lanes visible in this image. The overall color profile appears somewhat blue, implying the presence of some young, hot stars, though a more detailed spectroscopic analysis would be needed to confirm ongoing star formation. There is a possible slight warp in the galactic disk suggesting a possible minor gravitational disturbance or recent merger event. The galaxy appears relatively isolated, with no obvious nearby companion galaxies visible in this field of view.
