The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated or cigar-shaped structure, with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. There is a noticeable color gradient across the galaxy, transitioning from a bluer hue at the outer edges to a more reddish-yellow tone towards the central region. This suggests a potential difference in stellar populations, with younger, bluer stars possibly dominating the outer regions, and older, redder stars concentrated towards the center. There's no readily apparent spiral arm structure or dust lanes visible. Given the smooth appearance, it likely is a lenticular galaxy, with very little in the way of star formation, as the lack of blue suggests. There appears to be no ongoing merger activity or strong gravitational disturbance affecting the galaxy's overall form.
