The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-shaped morphology, suggesting it is likely an edge-on spiral or possibly an elliptical galaxy with a significant deviation from sphericity. The central region appears brighter and more concentrated, indicating a possible bulge or nucleus. There is a subtle color gradient observable, with the central region exhibiting a warmer, yellowish hue, potentially indicative of an older stellar population or dust obscuration. The outer regions appear slightly bluer, hinting at the presence of younger stars or ongoing star formation, although the overall smooth appearance implies a relatively low rate of current star formation. There do not appear to be any significant tidal features or signs of a recent major merger, although subtle asymmetries may suggest minor gravitational interactions. Further analysis with higher resolution imaging and spectroscopic data would be necessary to confirm the classification and determine the exact nature of the stellar populations and any ongoing activity.
