The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, characterized by a prominent and slightly elongated central bulge that appears yellowish, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk is relatively thin and extended, exhibiting a bluer hue, potentially indicating ongoing star formation within the spiral arms. The dust lane is visible, obscuring some of the light from the bulge, and creating dark patches in the galactic plane. There does not appear to be any signs of recent galaxy merger activity or major gravitational disturbances within the visible structure.
