This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, elongated in shape. There is a central bulge that is yellowish-white and appears to be older stars. The outer regions of the galaxy display a bluer hue. There is little indication of any significant recent merger activity or tidal disturbances. The overall structure is relatively smooth, lacking prominent spiral arms or irregular features, suggesting a well-mixed stellar population. The size, while appearing compact in this image, likely extends further than visibly discernable with the colors fading into the black of space.
