This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy with a notably elongated, cigar-like morphology. The light distribution suggests a smooth, featureless structure with a concentrated central bulge. The galaxy has a yellow-orange hue which may indicate a population of older stars and a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. There are no apparent spiral arms or dust lanes visible in this image. The galaxy is relatively isolated, showing no signs of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances.
