The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed at a near edge-on orientation. A bright, centrally concentrated bulge dominates the inner region, appearing yellowish-white, suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter spiral arms appear emanating from the bulge, extending outward into the galactic disk. Patches of blue suggest regions of active star formation along the arms, albeit subtle. The overall disk shape suggests a moderate ellipticity. The disk appears smooth and somewhat featureless, potentially due to the viewing angle limiting the resolution of individual features. The disk fades smoothly into the background sky, showing no strong evidence of tidal disturbances or interactions.
