The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral, possibly seen edge-on or at a high inclination. Its overall shape is elongated. A bright central bulge is visible, exhibiting a yellowish-orange color. This suggests a population of older stars. Fainter, bluer light extends away from the bulge along what appears to be the disk of the galaxy. The galaxy has a smooth texture without any major disturbances, though it is not perfectly smooth. Overall, the galaxy shows a relatively quiescent state, possibly with a modest amount of ongoing star formation. The galaxy has a measured redshift which means it is relatively far away.
