The galaxy presents a relatively smooth and elliptical morphology. It appears mostly homogenous in color, with a concentration of yellow-orange light toward the center and a gradual fading to less intense light towards the periphery. This may indicate an older stellar population dominating the light output. There is a slight asymmetry, it appears nearly elliptical, but not perfectly round. There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The galaxy exhibits a red shift indicating it is a great distance from our own. There appears to be ongoing star formation. There is no evidence of major merging activity, it's overall shape is still fairly undisturbed.
