The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elliptical structure with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. The central region exhibits a concentration of light, appearing slightly reddish-yellow in color, possibly indicating a population of older stars. Moving outward, the galaxy's color shifts subtly towards a bluer hue, hinting at the presence of a younger stellar population or recent star formation activity, though it is not strongly pronounced. The galaxy's shape is elongated, approximately cigar-shaped, showing no discernible spiral arms or distinct features. There is no evidence of significant tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers, with a relatively undisturbed and symmetrical morphology. The overall appearance suggests a galaxy transitioning between early and late-type morphological classifications, with some features of both elliptical and lenticular galaxies.
