The galaxy presents a generally smooth morphology, though some features indicative of a disk-like structure can be discerned. It appears to be an elongated, cigar-shaped galaxy. The color distribution suggests a higher concentration of older stars in the central bulge, as indicated by the yellowish hue in the core. Fainter, bluer light extends outward from the bulge along the major axis, possibly representing regions of ongoing or recent star formation. There is no obvious evidence of a major ongoing merger or tidal disturbances in this image. The galaxy appears relatively isolated, without any obvious nearby companions.
