The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated object, roughly circular in shape, with a relatively smooth appearance.  There is no obvious spiral structure.  The color gradient transitions from a blueish white core, indicative of hotter, younger stars, to a yellowish periphery, suggesting an older stellar population. No significant dust lanes or patches of active star formation are immediately apparent in this image. There appear to be no major distortions or tidal features indicating a recent or ongoing major merger event. The overall morphology suggests an elliptical galaxy, possibly with a small amount of ongoing star formation.
