This galaxy appears to be an elongated elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth morphology overall, though some features are present. Its shape is decidedly cigar-shaped. The central region displays a concentrated, bright yellowish core, likely representing an older stellar population. Moving outward from the core, the galaxy appears to fade in luminosity, transitioning to a less defined and slightly bluer hue. There's a hint of possible minor tidal disturbance visible at one end, potentially indicating a past or ongoing minor merger event. Evidence of recent or current star formation is limited but may exist at one tip of the galaxy due to some red color. Overall, the galaxy seems to be a massive, relatively quiescent system.
