This galaxy presents as a lenticular or possibly an edge-on spiral galaxy. The primary body of the galaxy is elongated, with a cigar-like shape, displaying a clear central bulge that is bright and concentrated. This bulge appears reddish-pink, which could indicate an older stellar population and relatively low levels of ongoing star formation. Surrounding the central bulge is a disk or halo of fainter, bluish light. This suggests the presence of younger, hotter stars, possibly indicative of some recent or ongoing star formation in the outer regions of the galaxy. There is no obvious presence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes that can be easily identified. Overall, the galaxy appears to be relatively smooth and undisturbed.
