This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, disk-like structure with a bright central bulge. Its overall color is slightly yellowish, indicating a population of older stars. There is a slight elongation to the galaxy’s shape, suggesting it may be either an edge-on spiral or a lenticular galaxy. While the galaxy exhibits a general smoothness, a subtle hint of a spiral arm structure might be present, though indistinct. There is no obvious evidence of active galactic nuclei activity in this image. The galaxy shows no strong signs of recent major merger events and appears to be a relatively undisturbed system.
