The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. Its core exhibits a yellow-orange hue, indicating a population of older stars. A fainter, blue-ish extension is seen adjacent to the main body, suggesting the possibility of ongoing star formation in that region or perhaps tidal disruption. The galaxy shows no obvious spiral arms or prominent dust lanes in this image. Its overall morphology suggests a transitioning phase, not fully elliptical but also lacking the distinct features of a spiral galaxy, possibly an early-type spiral or lenticular galaxy. There is a subtle asymmetry in the outer regions, which could be the result of a minor gravitational interaction or previous merger event.
