This galaxy appears to be a flattened elliptical, with an overall cigar shape. The central bulge is quite prominent and exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Surrounding the bulge is a fainter disk, displaying a mix of colors including some bluish tints, hinting at more recent star formation activity. There may be some minor disturbances or irregularities visible in the outer regions of the galaxy. The galaxy is oriented nearly edge-on from our perspective. Overall, it seems to be a relatively smooth galaxy, but with hints of ongoing processes within the disk.
