This galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. The central region exhibits a high degree of luminosity, appearing a yellowish-white hue, suggesting a concentration of older stellar populations. Moving outward from the core, the light gradually diminishes, transitioning to a more subdued yellowish color. Faint blue-ish tinges are visible along the very outer edges of the galaxy. This suggests a small amount of more recent star formation occurring at the periphery. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively smooth in texture, showing little evidence of major disturbances or significant merging events. There is a slight asymmetry to the galaxy's light distribution, though this could be due to internal dust obscuration or an interaction with a smaller galaxy. The overall structure points to this galaxy being classified as an elliptical galaxy.
