The galaxy in the image presents as a moderately luminous, elongated structure. Its light is relatively smooth, with a slight central concentration. The overall shape suggests a classification somewhere between an elliptical and a lenticular galaxy. There's a hint of a possible disk-like structure, though no distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are visible. The color appears to be moderately red, indicating an older stellar population and a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. There are no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger or significant tidal disruption, indicating a relatively quiescent state.
