The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its overall color profile leans toward a yellowish-white, suggesting a significant population of older stars, but with blue tinges near the outer regions. There is a relatively smooth and featureless appearance to the galaxy's light distribution, indicating a lack of prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The central region appears brighter and more concentrated, possibly indicative of a bulge structure, which is common in elliptical galaxies. There is a slight asymmetry in the outer regions, suggesting the possibility of a past interaction or minor disturbance. Based on the general appearance, this galaxy could be classified as an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on, with some evidence of ongoing or recent, minor star formation.
