This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated system, likely an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on. Its overall shape is cigar-like, with a high degree of elongation and a lack of obvious spiral arm structure.

The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a bluer hue at the edges to a yellower, more reddish core. The central region is brighter and more concentrated, suggesting a higher density of older stellar populations or a more obscured region due to dust. The outer regions appear less defined and gradually fade into the background sky.

There is no evidence of significant dust lanes, spiral arms, or active star-forming regions. This suggests that the galaxy is either devoid of significant gas and dust or that these components are smoothly distributed within the system. No signs of tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers are apparent.
