This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, characterized by a generally smooth, featureless morphology. Its shape is elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like appearance rather than a distinctly round or disk-like structure. The light distribution seems relatively uniform, with a central concentration that gradually fades towards the outer edges. There is no apparent spiral structure or significant dust lanes visible in this image. The galaxy's color appears to be primarily bluish-white, suggesting a relatively older stellar population. There's no obvious evidence of ongoing major mergers or tidal disturbances, indicating a relatively settled state.
