The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a generally smooth and featureless morphology. It has a somewhat elongated, cigar-like shape. The central region shows a concentrated, brighter core, suggesting a higher density of stars in that area. Moving outward from the core, the galaxy gradually fades in intensity. Colors range from a yellowish-white center to a bluish and duller periphery, possibly indicating different stellar populations and ages within the galaxy. There is no evidence of strong spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The overall impression is that of a mature, relatively quiescent system. No signs of a major merger are readily apparent in the image, though the asymmetric shape could indicate the effects of a smaller disturbance.
