The galaxy presents a somewhat elliptical morphology, leaning towards a flattened shape, but is not perfectly symmetrical. The central region exhibits a high concentration of light, suggesting a prominent galactic nucleus. The core appears yellowish-orange, potentially indicative of an older stellar population. Extending outwards from the core, a diffuse, bluish halo is visible. The blue tint indicates the presence of younger, hotter stars and potentially ongoing star formation within the galaxy. There is a noticeable, albeit faint, asymmetry, with a slight elongation or disturbance in the outer regions. This could suggest a past or ongoing interaction with another galaxy, although no clear companion galaxy is immediately apparent in the image. Overall, the galaxy presents a combination of characteristics associated with both early-type and late-type galaxies, possibly representing a transition or intermediate stage in galactic evolution.
