The galaxy presents as a generally smooth structure, with a somewhat elongated, cigar-like morphology. The central region exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. There is a slight gradient in color and intensity from the core outwards, with the outer regions appearing somewhat fainter. A hint of bluer light, potentially indicative of more recent star formation, is apparent in a small area that is separate from the galaxy, but relatively close. There's no strong evidence of significant tidal disturbances or major mergers in the immediate vicinity, although there are some subtle indications of possible minor interaction that suggest the galaxy may have experienced a merger in the past. The overall impression is of a galaxy that is relatively evolved and potentially quiescent, but maybe still has some remaining star formation occurring.
