The galaxy presents an elliptical morphology, appearing smooth and relatively featureless in this image. Its overall shape is elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like appearance. The color profile suggests a dominant population of older stars, indicated by the reddish-orange hue concentrated toward the galactic center. This contrasts slightly with the slightly less red periphery. There's no obvious presence of prominent spiral arms or dust lanes. We see no indications of ongoing major mergers or significant tidal disturbances.
