Blue elliptical

by Auroness

I can't see any spiral pattern, but I've never seen an elliptical with blue clusters. Maybe it is too faint to see the spiral arms?

It is a irregular galaxy, not an elliptical.

No obvious spiral, but I've never seen an elliptical with the blue clusters. Not sure what this is. #question
