The galaxy presents as a cigar-shaped structure, significantly elongated along one axis. It exhibits a primarily smooth morphology, with a relatively featureless appearance across its surface. The central region displays a concentration of light, suggesting the presence of a galactic bulge. The overall color is a mix of blue and yellow hues, with the central region appearing slightly more yellow and the outer regions exhibiting a faint blue tint. This could indicate a mixed stellar population, with older stars concentrated in the center and younger, hotter stars present in the outer disk. The disk component is dominant, but there is no clear spiral arm structure visible in the image, perhaps due to its edge-on orientation relative to our line of sight. There are no signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances within the galaxy's immediate vicinity, suggesting it has been relatively undisturbed.
