The galaxy appears as an elongated, elliptical structure. The central region exhibits a bright, yellowish-white hue, suggesting a concentration of older stars. Moving outward from the core, the color transitions to a more bluish-white, indicative of younger stars. The overall shape is cigar-like, with the major axis significantly longer than the minor axis. There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or a distinct disk structure. The galaxy appears relatively smooth, lacking significant signs of dust lanes or irregular features, though there are very slight visual disturbances in the halo. No merging signatures are visible, suggesting it is a relatively undisturbed galaxy.
