The galaxy presents as a thin, elongated disk with a prominent central bulge. The disk is oriented edge-on to our line of sight, obscuring much of its spiral structure, if any exists. Dust lanes appear dark and concentrated along the midplane of the disk, further obscuring features. There are bright star-forming regions visible near the edge of the disk, indicating ongoing stellar formation. The central bulge appears to be a mix of older stellar populations and a smooth distribution of light. The lack of major disturbances and the relatively ordered structure suggests it is not currently undergoing a major merger. The galaxy shows only minor disturbances, indicating minor interactions with smaller galaxies.
