The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, displaying a prominent central bulge that appears relatively smooth and luminous. A faint disk is visible, oriented horizontally in the image. The disk exhibits a slight dust lane obscuring some of the bulge's light, indicating the presence of interstellar material. The overall color of the galaxy is slightly redder, suggesting an older stellar population, particularly in the bulge region. Star formation appears to be limited, as evidenced by the lack of bright blue regions typically associated with young, hot stars. The galaxy displays a high degree of symmetry and no obvious signs of tidal disturbances or mergers with other galaxies. The bulge seems to contribute significantly to the overall light output.
