The galaxy presents a clear, elongated, cigar-like morphology. Its core exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity with a yellowish hue, suggesting a significant population of older stars. Moving outward from the core, a gradual decrease in luminosity is observed. The outer regions display a bluer tint, possibly indicative of ongoing star formation. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed with no signs of major mergers or tidal disruptions. There is some subtle patchy texture in the outer regions, hinting at underlying spiral arm structures, though these are not well-defined. Overall, the galaxy's shape and color distribution suggest an evolved system with a mix of stellar populations and low levels of recent star formation.
