The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed at a significantly inclined angle. This yields an elongated, cigar-shaped appearance. The central bulge is prominent and appears yellowish, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk exhibits a bluer hue, possibly indicative of ongoing star formation. There is a redder region within the disk as well, perhaps an area rich in dust. There is little evidence of a spiral structure within the resolution of this image, giving it a smoother appearance overall. There is no clear signs of any major mergers occuring, but subtle distortions may be indicative of past or minor gravitational interactions.
