This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated structure. It exhibits a distinct cigar shape, suggesting it may be an elliptical galaxy viewed at an angle, or possibly a spiral galaxy seen edge-on. The central region presents a yellowish hue, potentially indicative of an older stellar population or dust obscuration. Towards the outer edges, particularly at one end, there is evidence of bluer colors, which could signify younger stars or ongoing star formation activity. While the galaxy appears mostly undisturbed, a small, somewhat bright patch is visible at one end, potentially indicating a minor interaction or a region of intense star formation. Overall, the galaxy presents a largely smooth profile with a noticeable color gradient from its center to its edges, suggesting a complex history of stellar evolution and possible interactions.
