This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, featureless morphology. Its overall color is yellowish-orange, suggesting a population of older stars with relatively little ongoing star formation. The galaxy's shape is somewhat elongated, but not highly so, appearing more "in between" round and cigar-shaped. There are no distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes visible. No signs of major mergers or strong tidal disturbances are discernible in the image, though minor disturbances cannot be ruled out. Overall, the galaxy presents as a mature, relatively quiescent system.
