This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy with a noticeable elongation. The galaxy's color gradient suggests a population of older stars, with a more yellowish-red hue dominating the central region, implying less active star formation. A slight blueish tinge is present at one end of the galaxy. There is some evidence of disturbances in the shape of the galaxy, possibly minor tidal interactions or internal instabilities, such as a potential merger event. Overall, the galaxy presents an intermediate stage in its evolution, possibly between a spiral and a fully formed elliptical galaxy.
