The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. It appears relatively smooth in texture, with a bright central region that fades gradually toward the ends. The galaxy displays a color gradient, with the central region appearing more yellow/white, suggesting an older stellar population or dust obscuration, while the outer regions exhibit a slight reddish hue. The asymmetry could imply an ongoing or past interaction with another galaxy, causing tidal disruption, or it could imply the presence of an active galactic nucleus. The reddish color might also suggest an ongoing, but low, star forming region.
