The galaxy appears to be a spiral, viewed at a high inclination angle, nearly edge-on from our line of sight. There is evidence of a central bulge, seemingly elliptical in shape and surrounded by what appears to be a flattened disk. Some warping is seen at the very edges of the disk. Patches within the disk suggest possible areas of star formation. The galaxy exhibits a reddish hue within the bulge, while the disk presents a bluer color. This suggests a difference in stellar population, with older stars dominating the bulge and younger, hotter stars populating the disk. There is no evidence of a major ongoing merger, but minor disturbances within the disk suggest a possible minor interaction or past merger event.
