This galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object, likely an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy seen close to face-on. The overall color is somewhat reddish-yellow, suggestive of an older stellar population with fewer young, massive stars. There is a slight bluer tinge around the central bulge, indicating the possibility of some ongoing, though limited, star formation. No distinct spiral arms or features are visible, supporting a classification towards the elliptical or lenticular end of the Hubble sequence. The galaxy exhibits a generally rounded morphology, with no obvious signs of significant tidal disturbances or ongoing major mergers, though a slight asymmetry cannot be completely ruled out. Its apparent size on the image suggests it is a moderately sized galaxy, but its great distance means it is actually a very large galaxy indeed.
