The galaxy presents as a relatively compact object with a diffuse, elliptical morphology. Its core exhibits a concentrated luminosity, appearing yellow-orange, suggesting a population of older stars. Fainter, bluer regions extend from the central bulge, hinting at some recent star formation. There is no clear spiral structure or bar visible, but a subtle asymmetry may indicate minor gravitational interaction or disturbance. The overall appearance suggests a galaxy transitioning towards an earlier type, possibly an elliptical or lenticular galaxy. The red shift of 0.265 suggests the light has been traveling for some time.
