The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated elliptical shape. The central region exhibits a concentrated, bright, yellowish-white luminosity, suggesting a high density of older stellar populations. Fainter, diffuse extensions surround the central region, gradually fading into the background sky. There is no strong evidence of spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes visible in this image. The galaxy appears largely undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal interactions. The color profile indicates a redder overall population of stars, consistent with an older, less actively star-forming galaxy. The galaxy's orientation is close to edge-on, indicated by the cigar shape. Some slight asymmetrical light distribution may hint at minor gravitational disturbances.
