This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy at a considerable distance. The light from the galaxy is redshifted to a value of 0.244, indicating that it is receding from us at a significant fraction of the speed of light.

The galaxy exhibits a yellowish-white central bulge. This suggests an older stellar population dominates its core, with fewer active star-forming regions. The galaxy's light profile appears smooth and featureless in this image, with no clear spiral arms or dust lanes visible. The galaxy is cigar-shaped. There are no clear signs of ongoing major merger events. There may be a small companion galaxy, but it is hard to tell in this image.
