The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated, disk-like structure, consistent with a classification somewhere between an elliptical and a spiral galaxy, leaning towards the elliptical. Its shape approximates that of a cigar, with an aspect ratio indicating a significant inclination relative to our line of sight. A central bulge appears somewhat brighter and more concentrated, exhibiting a yellowish-orange hue that may signify an older stellar population. The outer regions of the galactic disk display a bluer tint, potentially indicative of ongoing or recent star formation, though not prominently so. There is no definitive spiral arm structure evident from this image, or any major disturbances. There might be some very minor disturbances, but these are very small. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, suggesting a period of quiescence in its recent evolutionary history. The galaxy's redshift indicates it is at a considerable distance.
