The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a smooth light distribution, suggesting it is likely an elliptical galaxy. Its color is predominantly reddish-orange, indicating a population of older stars and relatively little ongoing star formation. There appears to be a subtle concentration of light toward the center, but no distinct nucleus is discernible in this image. There are no obvious spiral arms or dust lanes visible. The overall morphology suggests a galaxy that has largely completed its star formation and is relatively undisturbed.
