The galaxy presents as a relatively compact, elongated structure. The dominant color is a soft yellow-white, suggesting an older stellar population with fewer young, hot stars. There is evidence of a central, brighter region, possibly indicative of a galactic bulge or active galactic nucleus, although the resolution is insufficient to confirm this. The overall shape is highly elliptical, appearing nearly cigar-shaped in its morphology. There is a very slight blue tint to the outskirts of the galaxy, possibly indicative of some star formation in the spiral arms. However, it mainly appears to be a spheroidal system with very little active star formation. There does not appear to be any distinct or prominent disk structure and the galaxy appears relatively smooth with little obvious sign of ongoing major mergers. The image hints at minor disturbances or features that may suggest recent or ongoing gravitational interactions with smaller nearby systems, but these are subtle. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively massive, evolved system.
