The galaxy appears to be a smooth, elliptical type, with a distinct central bulge. Its overall shape is elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like or prolate spheroid morphology. The core region displays a yellowish-white hue, suggestive of an older stellar population, while the outer regions have a slight bluish tint indicating younger star formation. No spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes are visible. There is no apparent evidence of major mergers or tidal disturbances in this image, although a slight asymmetry cannot be ruled out completely.
