The galaxy appears as a somewhat elliptical, though nearly circular, object. The central region exhibits a concentrated, bright luminosity, possibly indicative of an active galactic nucleus or a dense stellar population. There's a noticeable color gradient, shifting from a yellowish-white core to a fainter, bluer halo. The overall structure seems relatively smooth, with little evidence of distinct spiral arms or other major morphological features. Some minor irregularities are visible in the outer regions, potentially suggesting minor tidal disturbances or ongoing accretion events, although no major mergers are apparent. The light distribution appears consistent with an early-type galaxy, possibly an elliptical or lenticular galaxy, at an estimated distance placing it at a lookback time significant enough to indicate substantial redshift. This observed redshift indicates the galaxy is receding at a notable fraction of the speed of light. The estimated size suggests a large but typical galaxy mass. The galaxy demonstrates an ongoing but possibly subdued rate of star formation, as suggested by the color gradients and the presence of younger, bluer stars in the surrounding halo.
