This galaxy exhibits a flattened, elliptical morphology, appearing cigar-shaped. The central region presents a high degree of luminosity with a yellow-white hue, suggesting a significant population of older stars. Moving outwards from the core, the light gradually dims and shifts towards a bluer tint, hinting at the presence of younger, hotter stars in the outer regions. There are no prominent spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes visible in this image. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed with no strong indications of ongoing major mergers or interactions, though some minor disturbance cannot be ruled out. Overall, the galaxy seems to have a generally smooth appearance, with a substantial fraction of the light coming from a smooth central component.
