The galaxy exhibits an overall elliptical morphology, appearing largely smooth and featureless in this image. Its shape is moderately elongated, with a cigar-like appearance rather than a perfectly circular form. The central region displays a higher surface brightness, suggesting a concentration of stars towards the galactic nucleus. The color gradient indicates a possible variation in stellar populations, with a slight bluer tinge towards the outer regions possibly indicating more recent star formation than the core, which has a yellow-ish orange hue to it. There is no apparent evidence of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances affecting the galaxy’s structure. The outer edges are diffuse, blending gradually into the background sky, consistent with a lack of a sharp, well-defined boundary.
