This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, with a smooth, featureless appearance. It exhibits a distinct elongated shape, resembling a cigar when viewed from this angle. There is a concentration of light towards the center, suggesting a bright central bulge. The galaxy displays a color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish-orange hue at its core to a bluer tint towards its outer regions, possibly indicating the presence of younger stellar populations in the periphery, although the yellow core implies older stars. There are no visible spiral arms or distinct dust lanes. A small degree of disturbance might be present, but the general structure looks relatively undisturbed.
