The galaxy presents as a relatively small, elongated structure, appearing cigar-shaped when viewed from our vantage point. Its overall color suggests a population of older stars, which means it is primarily red in color. The galaxy's light distribution is relatively smooth and centrally concentrated, indicating it is likely an elliptical galaxy, or at least a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on. There is a slight hint of a disk-like structure, based on the distribution of the light, however, there is no apparent dust or strong star-forming regions visible. The galaxy appears to be relatively isolated and undisturbed, with no major tidal features, although minor signs of previous interaction cannot be ruled out completely. The rate of star formation within the galaxy is quite low, and the galaxy's mass is likely somewhere in the range of a smaller spiral galaxy.
