The galaxy presents as a lenticular system, viewed at a high inclination relative to our line of sight. It exhibits a prominent central bulge that appears yellowish-orange in color, likely indicative of an older stellar population. The disk component shows a bluer hue but is relatively smooth in texture, lacking significant discernible spiral arm structure. The galaxy is elongated, with a cigar-like shape. There's no clear evidence of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances in the immediate vicinity, suggesting a relatively undisturbed evolutionary history. The smooth appearance supports this, with most citizen scientists agreeing that it is smooth in nature. Given the moderate redshift value, this galaxy is at a considerable cosmological distance, and possesses an absolute magnitude brighter than many galaxies we see. Star formation is happening but at a fairly low rate for its mass.
