This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy, possibly an early-type spiral seen at an angle. Its light is concentrated towards the center, with a gradual decrease in brightness outward. The shape is elongated, suggesting a somewhat cigar-like form, or that it is a disk seen edge on. There are hints of a possible disk-like structure, but the smooth appearance dominates. It is a relatively large galaxy with an estimated moderate star formation rate. There is no immediately obvious evidence of any major ongoing mergers, or significant tidal disturbances, though minor disturbances may be present. The primary color of the galaxy is yellowish-white, which indicates it is primarily composed of older stars. There appears to be no presence of any distinct, bright blue areas which is a clear indication of an absence of recent, massive star formation.
