The galaxy presents as a primarily smooth, elliptical-like structure with a central bulge that appears bright and concentrated, indicating a high density of stars in the core. The overall color of the galaxy leans towards a yellow-red hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. There is a hint of bluer light at one extreme end. The structure is elongated and cigar-shaped, with no apparent spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes visible. This observation, combined with the color, suggests a galaxy undergoing a relatively low rate of star formation, with a dominant population of older, redder stars. Faint tidal features seem to extend from the body of the galaxy in at least one direction, possibly due to a minor disturbance. Overall, it is a massive galaxy exhibiting signs of a past disturbance and reduced star formation.
