The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated object with a cigar-shaped morphology. There is a noticeable central bulge that seems brighter than the surrounding disk. The galaxy exhibits a subtle color gradient, with the central region appearing more yellow and the outer edges having a slightly bluer hue. This could be indicative of older stellar populations concentrated in the bulge and younger, star-forming regions in the disk. There is no clear evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes visible in this image, and no indications of strong tidal disturbances or mergers in progress. The general smooth appearance suggests a relatively evolved system, possibly an elliptical or lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on.
