The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, exhibiting a noticeable central bulge that is brighter and more concentrated than the surrounding disk. The disk itself appears relatively smooth with no distinct spiral arm structure visually apparent. The light from the galaxy is predominantly yellowish-white near the central bulge, transitioning to a bluer hue towards the outer edges of the disk. This color gradient might indicate ongoing star formation within the disk, concentrated in regions further from the core. The galaxy appears to be isolated with hints of a minor disturbance, possibly indicating a past or ongoing interaction with a smaller companion. Overall, the galaxy shows characteristics of a relatively mature system with some recent star forming activity.
