The galaxy presents as an elliptical morphology, elongated with a cigar-like shape. The light distribution is relatively smooth and concentrated towards the center, suggesting an older stellar population. There is evidence of a subtle color gradient, with the central region appearing more yellow/orange, possibly indicating a higher concentration of older, redder stars. Fainter blue hues are observed towards the outer edges of the galaxy, potentially arising from younger stars or some residual star formation. There's no obvious spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes visible in this image. The overall appearance suggests a system that is relatively evolved and quiescent. There are no signs of major merging events or significant tidal distortions, although there is minor disturbance suggested that does not visually impact the galaxy.
