This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a concentrated central bulge. The light is significantly redder at the core than in its outer regions, indicative of an older stellar population dominating the core. The galaxy's overall shape is somewhere in between round and elliptical, and it exhibits no obvious signs of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. There is a slight hint of bluer light in the surrounding areas of the central bulge which could be due to a younger population of stars. There are no signs of major disturbances or ongoing mergers visible in this image. The galaxy's morphology suggests it is likely a relatively evolved system, experiencing an intermediate level of star formation activity.
