The galaxy presents a distinct, elongated morphology, suggestive of a cigar shape when viewed from our vantage point. The central bulge appears relatively smooth and exhibits a reddish hue, which could indicate an older stellar population with a lower rate of star formation. This bulge smoothly transitions into a disk component, though the disk itself appears less defined and more diffuse. Faint bluish tones are visible in the outer regions of the galaxy, possibly indicative of some ongoing or recent star formation. There is no immediately obvious evidence of strong spiral arm structure or significant disturbances within the galaxy's morphology, although subtle irregularities cannot be ruled out without higher resolution data. The overall appearance indicates a galaxy of substantial mass that does not exhibit signs of a major ongoing merger.
