The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth elliptical or lenticular type, elongated in shape, with an aspect ratio indicating a cigar-like appearance. The central bulge exhibits a concentration of light, indicative of an older stellar population. There is a noticeable color gradient from the central regions to the outer edges, with the core appearing more yellow/white and the periphery showing hints of blue, suggesting possible residual star formation. The galaxy does not show any strong signs of tidal disturbances or interactions with neighboring galaxies, although a slight asymmetry in the outer halo could indicate minor past interactions. There is no prominent dust lane or distinct spiral structure visible, lending further support to classification as an early-type galaxy. Overall, the galaxy appears as a relatively isolated and evolved system, consistent with a redshift measurement that places it at a significant cosmological distance.
