The galaxy appears as a moderately compact object with a largely smooth, elliptical morphology. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, appearing yellowish-white, suggesting an older stellar population dominating the core. Moving outward, the galaxy gradually fades into a less distinct halo. There are no obvious spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes visible in the image. A slight asymmetry may be present, possibly indicating minor gravitational interaction or past merger event, but it is not a pronounced feature. The galaxy’s color is somewhat redder than average for a spiral galaxy, which could suggest a relatively low ongoing star formation rate, but detectable levels of star formation are still possible. The overall appearance suggests a galaxy transitioning from active star formation to a more quiescent state.
