The galaxy presents an overall elliptical morphology, with a smooth and relatively featureless appearance. Its elongation suggests it is not perfectly spherical, but rather somewhat cigar-shaped. The light distribution is concentrated towards the center, indicating a bulge component. There is some subtle bluer light visible within the galaxy, perhaps indicating regions of recent star formation. However, redder colors dominate the overall appearance, suggesting a population of older stars is also present. I see no signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances. The morphology suggests this is likely a galaxy that has consumed most of the available fuel for active star formation, and is a relatively mature galaxy.
