This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, with a generally smooth and symmetrical structure. The galaxy's central region exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older, evolved stars. Moving outward from the core, the color gradient shifts toward a slightly bluer tint, possibly indicating the presence of some younger stellar populations, though this is not sharply defined and could also be due to metallicity gradients within the galaxy. There is little evidence of spiral arms or other distinct features typically associated with disk galaxies. The galaxy appears mostly undisturbed with no signs of active merging or major tidal disruptions. The overall shape is relatively round, though subtle elongation is present along one axis. The galaxy lacks prominent dust lanes or significant star-forming regions readily discernible in the image, indicating a relatively low star formation rate.
