This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a largely smooth, round morphology. There is minimal evidence of spiral arms or a defined disk structure. The galaxy possesses a concentrated central bulge with a gradual decrease in luminosity outward. There is a faint blueish area that might indicate star formation that is occurring, however, the star formation rates are likely low. Overall, there is evidence for a galaxy that is relatively undisturbed, with potentially a small amount of galaxy interaction or merger occurring nearby. The light from this galaxy has been stretched, indicating it is at a significant cosmological distance from our own. The color suggests a population of older stars, with a more modest contribution from younger, bluer stars.
