The galaxy presents as an elongated structure, significantly longer than it is wide, exhibiting a cigar-like shape. It appears to be tilted significantly with respect to our line of sight, presenting an edge-on or nearly edge-on perspective. A central bulge is apparent, displaying a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter, bluer light extends outwards along the galactic plane, indicating the presence of younger stars and possibly ongoing star formation within a disk-like structure. There is some subtle clumping of light within the disk which indicates some areas of larger concentration of matter. Overall, the galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth, featureless appearance, with no obvious spiral arm structures visible, and a lack of evidence for a major ongoing merger.
