The galaxy presents an elliptical morphology, elongated with a major axis significantly longer than its minor axis, appearing cigar-shaped from this viewing angle. A central bulge, characterized by a bright, yellowish hue, dominates the galaxy's core region. The bulge light appears smooth and concentrated. Moving outward from the core, the light gradually fades into a bluer, less concentrated halo. There are hints of a flattened disk component. The galaxy exhibits a smooth overall texture. There is no prominent dust lane or spiral arm structure immediately visible in this image. The overall color suggests a stellar population composed primarily of older stars, although bluer regions suggest some ongoing, albeit reduced, star formation.
