The galaxy presents as a spiral, seen nearly edge-on from our vantage point. A prominent central bulge is visible, exhibiting a yellowish-orange hue suggestive of an older stellar population. This bulge appears relatively smooth and featureless, indicating a lack of significant recent star formation activity in the core.

Extending outward from the bulge, the disk is delineated by fainter, bluish light. Dust lanes are hinted at, but are difficult to make out given the nearly edge-on orientation, though there is a slight indication of such along the plane of the disk. The arms are not well-defined, potentially due to both the viewing angle and the distance to the galaxy. The galaxy seems to exhibit a relatively high degree of rotational symmetry. Based on these observed characteristics, this is a relatively massive galaxy with ongoing star formation.
