The galaxy presents as a smooth, elliptical form, elongated with a cigar-like shape. Its light is primarily concentrated towards the center, exhibiting a bright, yellowish-orange hue suggestive of an older stellar population and minimal ongoing star formation. The outer regions of the galaxy fade gradually, indicating a lack of distinct spiral arms or other prominent features. There is no obvious presence of dust lanes or merging activity visible in this image. The overall morphology indicates a galaxy which has largely exhausted its gas supply and is dominated by evolved stars.
