The galaxy presents a smooth, elliptical morphology, appearing somewhat elongated or cigar-shaped in the image. It has a prominent central bulge that is bright and concentrated, with a yellow-orange color suggesting an older stellar population. The light gradually fades towards the outer regions of the galaxy, indicating a decreasing density of stars. There are no clearly defined spiral arms or dust lanes visible in this image, further supporting the classification as an elliptical galaxy. There is no evidence of any major ongoing merger activity or strong tidal disturbances.
