The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated elliptical galaxy. Its overall shape is cigar-like. There is a concentration of light towards the center, suggesting a bright galactic nucleus. Faint blueish colors are visible throughout the galaxy, indicative of some level of ongoing or recent star formation, though the bulk of the stellar population is likely older. The galaxy shows no signs of major disturbances or mergers, appearing relatively isolated and undisturbed.
