This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy at redshift z ≈ 0.161, meaning light from it has traveled a significant portion of the universe's age to reach us. It exhibits a generally smooth morphology, with a concentrated central bulge that appears yellowish in color, likely indicative of an older stellar population. There is little evidence of significant spiral arm structure. The galaxy displays an overall slightly elongated, rather than perfectly circular, shape. There may be a hint of faint, disturbed structure on one side, possibly indicating a minor interaction or recent merger event, however no other clear signs of recent or major disturbance can be seen in the image. The overall color and lack of prominent features suggest a relatively quiescent star formation rate.
