The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-like morphology. A central bulge region exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older, evolved stars. The outer regions appear fainter and display a bluish tint, potentially indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. The galaxy appears relatively smooth, without prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes visible in this image. The overall shape suggests a late-type spiral galaxy seen edge-on or a lenticular galaxy. There is no evidence of a major merger or tidal disturbances in the visible structure of this galaxy.
