The galaxy presents a notably elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. A significant portion of the galaxy’s light appears concentrated in a relatively smooth central bulge, exhibiting a color gradient suggestive of an older stellar population. Extending outwards, a fainter, more diffuse disk-like structure is observed. The disk shows evidence of some irregularity or distortion, potentially hinting at past or ongoing gravitational interactions. There is a small and diffuse blue region that hints at ongoing star formation within the galaxy. The overall structure suggests a galaxy transitioning between an elliptical and a spiral type, likely a lenticular galaxy, but possibly a spiral seen from the side. The galaxy displays an apparent redshift, indicating its considerable distance.
