The galaxy presents as an elongated, somewhat spindle-shaped object. There is a centrally concentrated brightness, suggesting a prominent galactic bulge. The light appears predominantly yellowish-white, indicative of an older stellar population. Faint disk-like features might be present extending outwards from the bulge, but are not well-defined. The overall smoothness of the light distribution suggests the galaxy may be relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of recent major mergers or significant star formation. There may be minor disturbances to the galactic shape. It appears relatively distant, exhibiting a moderate redshift. This is a massive galaxy.
