The galaxy presents as a slightly elongated, disk-shaped structure, viewed nearly edge-on from our vantage point. A prominent dust lane obscures the central bulge and segments the galaxy's disk, suggesting the presence of significant interstellar dust and gas. The disk exhibits a smooth, relatively featureless appearance. The color gradient suggests a population of older stars with lower rates of star formation. There is no indication of any significant tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers.
