This galaxy presents as a predominantly smooth structure, exhibiting a roughly cigar-shaped morphology. The central region is noticeably brighter and has a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter, bluer light is distributed throughout the galaxy. Patches of red are present, especially near the tips of the cigar shape, indicating regions of ongoing star formation. No strong evidence of spiral arms or a well-defined disk is apparent. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of a major merger event, though subtle distortions or minor disturbances cannot be ruled out based on this image alone.
