The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, elongated morphology. It has a cigar-like shape, with a significant bulge component. The galaxy displays a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population with a lower rate of ongoing star formation. There seems to be a companion object in close proximity, possibly a smaller galaxy in the process of merging. No prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes are visible in this image. There may be some signs of tidal disruption on the edges of the galaxy, but it appears largely undisturbed.
