This galaxy exhibits a primarily smooth morphology, with a slight elongation suggesting an oblate spheroidal shape, falling somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. There is a very faint suggestion of a disk structure. The color gradient indicates a population of stars and dust that are relatively similar across the galaxy, and the blue tint is associated with younger stars. Given that it is likely not undergoing major merging, and the smooth appearance of the image, this could be an elliptical galaxy that has undergone some star formation in recent times.
