The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or possibly an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a generally smooth morphology. It is elongated in shape, with a length that is several times its width, suggesting a cigar-like appearance when viewed from this angle.

The galaxy displays a color gradient, with the central region appearing more yellow or golden, possibly indicative of an older stellar population. The outer regions exhibit a bluer hue. This could be due to the presence of younger, hotter stars in these areas, or the presence of some remaining star forming regions.

There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or a distinct disk structure in this particular image. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger or tidal disruption, although there might be some minor asymmetry or slight disturbances in the outer regions.
