The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. Its overall shape is cigar-like, suggesting it is likely an elliptical galaxy seen from an angle. The central region appears brighter and more concentrated, indicating a higher density of stars. The color gradient transitions from a slightly yellowish or golden hue in the core to a redder, fainter color in the outer regions, which may be due to the light from older, redder stars in the outer regions. There are no apparent spiral arms or dust lanes visible, further supporting its classification as an elliptical galaxy. There is no evidence of strong star formation activity, suggesting a relatively passive system. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merging or disturbance events.
