The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its color profile indicates a dominant population of older stars, with the central region exhibiting a more pronounced red hue compared to the fainter, less-defined outskirts. There is a subtle color gradient suggesting potential variations in stellar populations or dust distribution across the galaxy. The morphology appears relatively smooth, lacking prominent spiral arms or distinct features indicative of active star formation. There's no apparent evidence of a major ongoing merger, though a slight asymmetry might suggest past gravitational interactions. Overall, the galaxy is a relatively undisturbed and evolved system.
