The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical or lenticular structure, showing a generally featureless appearance. The central bulge exhibits a high degree of symmetry and appears relatively bright with a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. There's a slight elongation of the galaxy along one axis; however, it is not particularly cigar shaped, and is tending more towards rounded. There is no discernible dust lane or spiral arm structure visible within the limits of this image. A faint halo or outer region surrounds the central bulge, gradually fading into the background. The overall impression is of a mature, relatively quiescent system, not actively undergoing significant star formation. There is no evidence of any significant merger events or tidal disturbances that are visible.
