The galaxy appears as an elongated, elliptical object. Its light is concentrated toward the center, with a gradual decrease in brightness as one moves outward towards the edges. The core of the galaxy has a yellowish hue, indicative of an older stellar population. Fainter blue light towards the outer edges suggest there are some younger stars present, or perhaps a region of more active star formation, but to a small extent. Its overall structure appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal disruptions. The galaxy's shape is elongated and cigar-shaped, without prominent spiral arms or a well-defined disk. Small disturbances are possible. It displays a smooth light distribution, without intense star formation.
