The galaxy presents a distinctly elongated, cigar-like morphology. Its overall appearance is relatively smooth, with a concentrated central bulge that gradually fades into the outer regions. A disk structure is faintly suggested, but it is not well-defined, and spiral arms, if present, are not discernible. The dominant colors are redder in the central region, gradually shifting towards bluer hues in the outer edges of the galaxy. This suggests a higher proportion of older stars toward the core and the potential for more recent star formation in the outer disk. There is no indication of active galactic nucleus activity or significant dust lanes visible in this image. Overall, the galaxy gives the impression of an older, relatively quiescent system, possibly an elliptical or lenticular galaxy that is still forming stars. Subtle asymmetries are apparent, though, suggesting the possibility of minor gravitational interactions or past mergers.
