The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, elongated structure. Its morphology suggests it is most likely an elliptical galaxy due to its smooth, featureless appearance. The galaxy's color is predominantly yellow-orange, indicating an older stellar population with a lower rate of star formation. This galaxy has a red shift of around 0.25 meaning we can assume it is roughly 3 billion light years away. The light from this galaxy has therefore traveled 3 billion years to reach us. There is a minor asymmetry to its shape, which could indicate a past or ongoing minor interaction with another galaxy. However, no significant tidal features or distortions are readily apparent, supporting the notion that it is not currently undergoing a major merger. The galaxy's core region displays a higher surface brightness, gradually decreasing towards its outer edges. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively undisturbed, evolved system with a dominant population of older stars.
