The galaxy presents as a luminous, elliptical object. Its color gradient suggests a higher concentration of older stars, and thus less ongoing star formation, towards the galaxy's center. The shape appears elongated with a smooth light distribution, indicating a likely absence of significant spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes. There is a subtle disk-like structure, but the galaxy appears to be mostly elliptical. The overall morphology is relatively undisturbed, suggesting no recent major merger events, with only some minor distortion. The galaxy appears to be a considerable distance from our own, but remains a significant source of light.
