The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. It appears relatively smooth, exhibiting a lack of distinct spiral arms or prominent features typically associated with disk galaxies. The central region shows a concentration of light with a noticeable color gradient towards redder wavelengths, potentially indicating an older stellar population in the galactic bulge. The outer regions display a bluer hue, possibly suggesting more recent or ongoing star formation. There is no obvious indication of a major merger event, although subtle asymmetries or minor disturbances in the galactic structure cannot be ruled out based on this image alone. Overall, this galaxy appears to be an elliptical or lenticular type with moderate star-forming activity.
