The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, likely an elliptical galaxy observed from a significant angle relative to its shortest axis. The light distribution is smooth, with a concentration of luminosity towards the central region. This core appears yellowish-orange in color, suggesting a population of older stars. The galaxy's outer regions appear more diffuse, with a gradual fading of light intensity. The color gradient shifts slightly towards redder hues in these outer areas, further indicating an older stellar population extends throughout the galaxy. There is no discernible evidence of spiral arms, dust lanes, or active star formation regions based on the color or morphological features visible in this image. Overall, the galaxy's characteristics point toward an evolved system with minimal current star formation.
