The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed approximately edge-on. There is a distinct bulge that is more luminous towards the center, with a yellow/orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk is visible as a fainter, bluer extension along the major axis, indicating areas of more recent star formation. Some distortion is present, with one end of the disk more diffuse and asymmetrical than the other, hinting at possible past interaction or tidal disturbance, though not a clear merger. The spiral arms, if present, are tightly wound, suggesting a possible Sa or Sb classification.
