The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or an elliptical galaxy, viewed at a significant angle to our line of sight, giving it a cigar-like shape. The central region is a concentrated, bright yellowish-white, suggesting an older stellar population. The galaxy's light gradually fades outwards from the center, with a smoother, more diffuse appearance at the edges. There is a hint of bluer color on one edge, possibly indicating a small region of more recent star formation. The overall structure appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major mergers or significant tidal interactions.
