The galaxy appears as a flattened, disk-shaped structure, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring the light from the galactic center. The overall color suggests a mix of stellar populations, with some regions showing a bluer hue indicative of recent star formation. Faint, diffuse extensions can be observed along the edges of the disk, possibly tidal features or the outer reaches of the stellar halo. There are minor disturbances in the disk, possibly from a minor merger or tidal event. The galaxy's structure and color gradients imply ongoing star formation.
