The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. Its shape is somewhat elongated, though more ovoid than cigar-shaped. There's a concentration of light towards the center, suggesting a bright galactic nucleus. The color appears to be a relatively uniform pale yellow-white, which may indicate an older stellar population with less active star formation. There is little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The galaxy looks relatively undisturbed, showing no clear signs of a recent major merger event. There may be some faint, slightly bluer light at the outer edges, suggesting that the galaxy may have some on-going star formation, but at a low rate.
