The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, featureless morphology. It has a somewhat elongated, cigar-like shape, indicating a non-spherical structure. The galaxy displays a central concentration of light, which likely corresponds to the galactic nucleus or bulge. The color gradient suggests a population of older stars dominating the galaxy, with a redder hue observed in the central regions, possibly indicating dust or metallicity gradients. There are no apparent signs of spiral arms or active star formation regions visible in this image, supporting the classification as an elliptical galaxy.
