The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or potentially a lenticular galaxy viewed at an angle. The light distribution is smooth and centrally concentrated, with a noticeable falloff in surface brightness moving outward from the core. The galaxy exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars. There is no apparent spiral structure, nor are there any distinct dust lanes or signs of active star formation discernible in this image. The galaxy is roughly 5 kiloparsecs in radius. There might be a slight asymmetry to the light distribution, potentially indicating a past minor merger event.
