This galaxy exhibits a distinctly elongated, cigar-like morphology. The central bulge appears to be a dominant feature, displaying a yellowish-red hue, potentially indicating an older stellar population. Moving outward from the bulge, a gradual transition to a bluer color is observed, particularly towards the less defined edges of the galactic disk. This color gradient might suggest ongoing star formation in the outer regions. There is no apparent spiral structure visible in the image. The overall structure appears relatively smooth, with no major disturbances or signs of ongoing merger activity immediately obvious. Based on the object's features, it could be classified as a lenticular galaxy, likely observed edge-on.
