This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. Its light is concentrated towards the center, suggesting a dense stellar population. There is a slight elongation, not perfectly circular, but rather in between an elliptical and spherical shape. No clear spiral arm structures or dust lanes are visible in the image, indicating this may be a more evolved system. There is no indication of major merger events in the image, though there appears to be a slight disturbance. There is variation in the color across the face of the galaxy, bluer towards the outer edge and redder towards the center. The difference in color suggests a variance in the age or metallicity of the star population throughout the galaxy. The outer regions show signs of recent star formation. Overall, the galaxy presents as an elliptical galaxy exhibiting some signs of moderate star formation.
