Observed is a galaxy with a redshift of approximately 0.045. Morphologically, the galaxy presents a relatively smooth, elongated profile, suggestive of an elliptical galaxy. The shape is more cigar shaped than round. There's a subtle color gradient visible, with a slightly bluer hue towards one end, perhaps indicating some level of recent star formation activity. The galaxy does not show strong evidence of a major ongoing merger, but small disturbances may be present. Given the smooth profile, the object seems to be in a relatively late stage of its evolution, and the rate of star formation appears to be comparatively low.
