The galaxy presents as a moderately sized, relatively smooth object. Its overall shape appears elliptical, though there is a slight deviation from perfect ellipticity. The galaxy exhibits a subtle color gradient, transitioning from a slightly bluer hue in the central region to a redder color towards the outer edges. This color gradient suggests potential variations in stellar populations across the galaxy. No strong features are observed in the image, such as spiral arms, bars, or tidal tails. The overall light distribution is smooth, with no indication of significant dust lanes or prominent star-forming regions. The core of the galaxy appears slightly brighter than the surrounding regions. There is no obvious evidence of ongoing major merger activity. Minor irregularities might be present, but these features are faint. Overall, this galaxy exhibits characteristics consistent with an evolved elliptical galaxy that is undergoing little star formation at this time.
