This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy with a slightly elongated shape. The central bulge region exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The outer regions of the galaxy appear fainter, with a subtle transition to a bluish color, possibly indicating the presence of some younger, hotter stars in the disk. There is a slight distortion in the shape of the galaxy that may be due to a minor interaction with another galaxy, although this is uncertain. The overall morphology points to an object somewhere between a pure elliptical and a spiral galaxy, leaning toward the former due to its general lack of defined spiral arm structure.
