The galaxy exhibits an elliptical morphology, appearing elongated with a cigar-like shape. Its overall structure appears relatively smooth, with no prominent spiral arms or distinct features readily discernible. The color profile displays a central concentration of yellowish-orange hues, suggesting a population of older stars. Fainter, slightly bluer tints are observable at the periphery of the galaxy, potentially indicative of some ongoing, albeit limited, star formation in these regions. There is no obvious evidence of any major merger events or significant tidal distortions in its form, and there is no noticeable galactic nucleus, which suggests it is a spiral galaxy viewed edge on.
