The galaxy appears to be elliptical in shape. It is luminous in the center and the light gradually tapers off toward its edges. The core is yellowish in color suggesting an older stellar population. The outer regions show a slight blue hue, indicating the presence of some younger, hotter stars, but this population seems small. There is no indication of spiral arms, or significant dust lanes. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, showing no major signs of tidal interactions or recent mergers, but perhaps shows a minor disturbance within it. The galaxy appears to be relatively smooth in texture.
