The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy viewed at an angle, showing a flattened shape. The light is concentrated towards the center, indicating a bulge. The color distribution shows a redder hue in the central region which may be an indication of an older stellar population. The galaxy appears relatively smooth with no distinct features, which reinforces the interpretation of it being an elliptical galaxy. There may be some disturbance on the side of the galaxy that is most visible to the left of the image.
