The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, elliptical-shaped object with a discernible central bulge. The bulge appears relatively smooth and concentrated, exhibiting a bright, almost stellar-like nucleus. The galaxy displays a color gradient, transitioning from a bluish hue in the central region to a redder tone in the outer regions, suggesting a potential difference in stellar populations and/or dust content. The galaxy is not perfectly symmetrical, possessing a slight elongation. There are no readily apparent spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes visible in this image, suggesting it is an early type galaxy with features less common in younger spirals. Close inspection reveals subtle irregular structures or minor disturbances near the outer edges, which could be indicative of past or ongoing interactions with smaller galaxies.
