The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure, appearing cigar-shaped from this viewing angle. There is a concentrated central bulge with a smooth, fading transition toward its outer regions. The galaxy exhibits a subtle color gradient, with the central region appearing more blue-white, suggesting a population of younger, hotter stars, while the outer regions seem redder, possibly indicating an older stellar population or increased dust obscuration. There is no evidence of spiral arms, bar structure, or significant dust lanes visible in this image. No major signs of ongoing interactions or mergers with other galaxies are apparent, though a slight asymmetry in the outer regions could hint at minor disturbances. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively undisturbed system, potentially an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on.
