The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its core exhibits a concentrated, yellowish-orange hue, indicative of an older stellar population and potentially a significant dust presence. Moving outward from the core, there is a gradual transition towards fainter, bluer regions, suggesting more recent star formation activity in the outer areas. The overall morphology suggests a relatively smooth distribution of light, with minimal signs of distinct spiral arms or significant irregularities. There's a slight hint of a disk-like structure, but it's mostly featureless. The galaxy's elongation is the dominant characteristic. No signs of any major mergers or tidal disturbances are visible in this image.
