The galaxy appears as a centrally concentrated, relatively smooth object. The core exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. A surrounding halo of bluer light extends outwards, possibly indicating a region of more recent star formation, or at least a population of slightly younger, hotter stars. The overall morphology is elliptical or lenticular, lacking any distinct spiral arms or a prominent disk structure. There is some subtle asymmetry to the outer regions, which could be indicative of tidal interactions, but this isn't obvious, and could be the result of image artifacts. There is some subtle color variation in the surrounding halo, but nothing obvious.
