The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, appearing mostly smooth in texture with a concentrated central bulge. The light from the core is primarily red-shifted, indicating a likely population of older stars. There are hints of bluer light along the edges and one visible patch of blue near the edge of the core indicating a possibility of some star formation. There appears to be only a minor distortion of the main body of the galaxy, suggesting there is either an object obscuring the light, or a minor disturbance from a past or ongoing interaction. The colors suggest this galaxy is a significant mass, with moderate ongoing star formation and signs of previous activity.
