This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy, displaying a cigar-like, elongated shape. It exhibits a concentration of light toward the center, suggesting a prominent galactic nucleus. The color gradient appears to shift from slightly bluer hues in the outer regions to a warmer, yellower tone toward the core. There are no visually apparent spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes. The general morphology suggests an older stellar population with a lower ongoing star formation rate. Faint irregularities in its outer edges may indicate minor gravitational interactions or past merger events, but the overall structure is not significantly disturbed.
