The galaxy presents as an elongated, somewhat cigar-shaped structure. It appears to possess a relatively smooth morphology, with a bright, concentrated central bulge that appears yellowish or white. Moving outward from the core, there is a gradual transition to a less luminous, bluish halo or disk component. While indistinct, there is very slight evidence of what could be faint disk-like features on the periphery of the galaxy, perhaps representing spiral arms, but these features are not well-defined. There is no obvious evidence of a recent or ongoing major merger event, though very minor disturbances can not be ruled out at the edge of the galaxy. The color gradient from a yellow core to blue edges suggests a population shift from older stars in the center to younger stars in the outer regions, implying ongoing, albeit potentially low-level, star formation activity.
