This galaxy presents as a primarily smooth object. Its light is concentrated towards the center, which is a bright, slightly elongated core. The outer regions of the galaxy appear more diffuse, with a general elliptical shape. There is a slight elongation, giving it a somewhat cigar-like appearance, though it mainly falls somewhere in between round and elongated. There is little apparent structure, such as spiral arms or dust lanes. Based on the color profile, the galaxy exhibits a bluer hue, indicating moderate star formation is likely occurring, although it isn't visually prominent in this image. There is no obvious evidence of major disturbances or ongoing mergers, with only slight indications of minor disturbance.
