This galaxy exhibits a smooth, elliptical morphology, appearing cigar-shaped from our vantage point. The galaxy’s core region displays a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population or significant dust obscuration. Fainter bluish extensions emanate from the central region, particularly at the tips of the ellipsoid shape. These areas might indicate regions of ongoing, though not intense, star formation. The overall appearance is relatively undisturbed, showing no obvious signs of major mergers, though subtle perturbations cannot be ruled out.
