The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated structure. Its shape is distinctly cigar-shaped, exhibiting a noticeable flattening. The central region presents a brighter, more concentrated luminosity, suggestive of a galactic bulge. This region's color appears slightly more yellow, potentially indicating an older stellar population. Progressing outward from the center, the light diffuses into a fainter halo. Faint blue hues are observed in these extended regions, which may signify regions of ongoing or recent star formation activity. There is no clear visual evidence of spiral arms, a bar structure, or significant dust lanes. The overall appearance suggests a galaxy in the early stages of morphological transformation, possibly transitioning from a spiral to an elliptical form. No major mergers appear to be taking place, but there may be a hint of tidal interactions at play with a disturbance in the halo. The galaxy's color profile suggests a moderate mass, but not a highly star-forming one, consistent with a galaxy that has moved past its peak star formation epoch.
