This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. It exhibits an elongated morphology, appearing somewhat cigar-shaped in its overall form. The color gradient suggests a central concentration of older stellar populations, which is indicated by the reddish hue. The galaxy's outskirts display a bluer color, possibly indicating regions of more recent, although modest, star formation activity. There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. No apparent interactions or merging features are detectable. The overall structure suggests a galaxy that is either in the process of evolving to become a more passive elliptical, or is already a settled elliptical galaxy.
