This galaxy exhibits a generally smooth morphology, with a slight hint of distortion or feature. The color distribution is not uniform; there is a concentration of bluer light toward the center, which may indicate the presence of younger, hotter stars or an active galactic nucleus. Fainter redder light is seen in the arms, which may indicate cooler, older stars or dust. The overall shape is elliptical, tending toward a more circular form, rather than being highly elongated. There is no obvious evidence of a major ongoing merger, although there is some slight evidence of distortion suggesting a possible recent minor interaction with another galaxy. Based on its redshift, this galaxy is at a significant distance from us. The estimated size suggests this is a moderate-sized galaxy.
