The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. It appears largely smooth in overall texture, with a diffuse and blended distribution of light across its form. The central region exhibits a brighter, more concentrated luminosity, which gradually fades towards the outer edges. There's a subtle color gradient observed, with the central region appearing slightly more yellowish-orange, potentially indicating an older stellar population or dust obscuration, while the periphery exhibits a faint bluish tinge, possibly suggestive of younger, hotter stars. The smooth, elongated morphology suggests a possible elliptical galaxy, or a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. There are no readily apparent spiral arm structures or dust lanes visible in this image. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merging events or significant disturbances based on its overall regular shape.
