The galaxy presents an elliptical morphology, appearing largely smooth and featureless in this image. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge with a gradual decrease in luminosity towards its periphery. The color gradient suggests a stellar population that is somewhat older, with a yellowish hue dominating the central regions. Fainter, bluer regions appear scattered at the edges, suggesting some on-going, but limited, star formation activity. The galaxy is elongated, with an axial ratio indicating a moderate degree of ellipticity, but shows no obvious signs of major disturbances or tidal features indicative of a recent major merger. Overall, the appearance points towards a massive galaxy, likely well beyond the Milky Way in size and mass, experiencing slow and steady star formation activity, with most of its stars present within the bulge of the galaxy.
