The galaxy presents as a lenticular, edge-on system. Its overall shape is elongated, resembling a cigar. The central bulge appears relatively smooth and features a yellowish-orange hue, possibly indicative of an older stellar population with lower star formation activity. Fainter, bluer regions extend outwards from the bulge along the major axis, possibly representing a disk component with some ongoing, albeit subdued, star formation. There's no evidence of spiral arms or a prominent dust lane. The galaxy exhibits a smooth, concentrated morphology with little to no significant tidal disturbances or merger activity detected in this image. It appears to be a relatively isolated galaxy, suggesting a lack of recent interactions with other significant astronomical bodies.
