The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, suggesting a possible elliptical morphology, or a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, indicative of a concentrated stellar population, possibly a bulge. Moving outward from the center, the light gradually diminishes towards the edges of the galaxy. A subtle blue hue is detectable at the extremities, hinting at the presence of younger, hotter stars and potentially ongoing star formation, although at a low rate. There's no clear evidence of spiral arms or dust lanes visible in this image. The overall appearance is relatively smooth and undisturbed, without indications of a major ongoing merger or significant tidal interactions. It shows evidence of possibly being a disk galaxy, but it could be a smooth elliptical as well.
