The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure. Its central region exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity, likely a bulge of older stars. The overall shape is somewhat elongated, verging on a cigar shape, but is predominantly in between round and cigar shaped, with an even light distribution. There is no clearly defined spiral arm structure discernible in the image. The color is mostly blue tinged, though there are some signs of red, and it exhibits no major disturbances or merger activity, presenting a relatively undisturbed appearance. The outer edges of the galaxy fade gradually into the background sky, which is consistent with a lack of recent star formation and associated young, bright stars.
