The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. Its central bulge is a bright, concentrated yellow, suggesting an older stellar population. There is an absence of distinct spiral arms, indicating a lack of significant recent star formation. The galaxy's overall shape is elongated, somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. There is no readily apparent evidence of a major merger event. Minor disturbances may be present in the outer halo, but these are difficult to discern from the image alone. The overall color suggests a redshifted object at an intermediate distance.
