This galaxy exhibits a pronounced, elongated morphology, appearing as a cigar shape. There's a noticeable color gradient across the galaxy's body, transitioning from a yellowish or reddish hue at one end to a bluish or whitish hue at the other. It suggests a possible difference in stellar population or dust content. The lack of distinct spiral arms or a central bulge points towards a classification as a lenticular or possibly an edge-on spiral galaxy. The presence of a faint disk is suspected, but further analysis is required to confirm this. There is some indication of minor disruption to the galaxy, potentially tidal interaction, or even a small merging event. Overall, it appears to be a massive galaxy with a considerable mass and a significant, but not extreme, amount of star formation.
