The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed edge-on from our line of sight. The central bulge is prominent and displays a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk is elongated and shows a slight color gradient, with bluish tones extending outwards from the central region. These bluish regions indicate areas of more recent star formation. The galaxy's overall structure appears relatively undisturbed, lacking any significant signs of tidal interactions or major mergers. Dust lanes appear faintly within the disk, contributing to the slightly mottled appearance. The galaxy is elongated, appearing cigar-shaped.
