The galaxy presents a generally smooth, elliptical appearance. It exhibits a flattened spheroidal shape. The central region appears brighter and more concentrated, with a yellowish hue, possibly indicating a population of older stars. Moving outwards from the center, a gradual decrease in brightness is observed. A subtle bluish tint surrounds the brighter core, perhaps indicating regions of younger star formation. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are apparent. The overall color suggests a galaxy that may be transitioning from active star formation to a more quiescent state, with a dominant population of older stars and a reduced rate of on-going star birth.
