This galaxy exhibits a mostly smooth morphology, suggesting it is likely an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on. The galaxy appears to be elongated, with a cigar-like shape. There is a subtle color gradient observed, transitioning from a somewhat yellower hue towards the center of the galaxy to a bluer tinge towards the outer edges. This could suggest the presence of younger stellar populations in the outer regions or dust obscuration toward the galaxy's center. No signs of spiral arms or significant disturbances like tidal tails or ongoing mergers are apparent in this image. The overall appearance indicates a relatively evolved system with a subdued star formation rate.
