The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on from our perspective. It has a bright, concentrated central bulge, which is yellow, possibly indicating an older stellar population. The disk of the galaxy is less distinct, with a faint reddish glow, and without a strong blue component, suggesting limited current star formation. Faint spiral arms are difficult to discern. The dust lane is not immediately evident. The smooth appearance suggests a relatively undisturbed morphology, with no major merger events recently experienced.
