The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. It has a bright central bulge, characteristic of older stellar populations. The overall color of the galaxy is yellowish-red, indicating a lack of significant ongoing star formation. There is some visual evidence of a slightly flattened shape, leaning towards an oblate spheroidal morphology. The outer regions appear diffuse and faint, fading into the background sky, which may indicate a large stellar halo. There are no prominent spiral arms, dust lanes, or other features suggestive of a disk or recent merger activity, although there seems to be some minor irregularity in the outer halo, possibly the result of a minor past interaction. The overall appearance suggests it is a fairly massive galaxy that is not actively forming stars.
