The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy observed nearly edge-on. There is a bright central bulge which appears almost spherical, surrounded by a flattened disk. Dust lanes are faintly visible along the galactic plane, obscuring some of the light from the bulge. There is evidence of faint spiral structure within the disk. The color gradient suggests older stellar populations dominate the bulge, while younger, bluer stars reside in the disk. No strong tidal features or nearby companions are immediately apparent, implying it is likely not undergoing a major merger, but minor disturbances may be present. Overall, this galaxy exhibits features consistent with a spiral galaxy that is approaching a lenticular morphology due to its large central bulge, but still displaying faint active star formation in the outer disk.
