The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical object. Its color is primarily a yellowish-white, suggesting a population of older stars. There is a slight elongation, indicating it may be somewhat cigar-shaped rather than perfectly spherical. There is a lack of defined spiral arms or prominent dust lanes, lending further credence to its classification as an elliptical galaxy. There might be a very slight disturbance in its morphology, possibly indicating minor interactions with another galaxy in the past. Overall, it has a quiescent appearance, showing little evidence of active star formation.
