The galaxy appears to be a relatively luminous, elongated structure with a significant red shift. It is moderately sized and displays a predominantly smooth, featureless morphology with an elliptical shape. The galaxy exhibits a noticeable color gradient, trending from bluer hues towards the center, to redder, more orange hues at the outer edges. The overall smoothness suggests it is either an elliptical galaxy, or a spiral galaxy viewed at an edge-on inclination. The smooth morphology suggests that major merging events are unlikely. Close inspection reveals very subtle indications of possible minor disturbances in the outer regions, which could indicate a minor merger event or tidal interactions.
