The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped object. A central, concentrated bulge exhibits a yellowish-white hue, suggesting a population of older stars. Moving outward from the core, the light gradually fades. The outer regions of the galaxy show hints of a bluer tint, possibly indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars. This could suggest some level of ongoing or recent star formation activity within the galaxy. There appears to be minimal evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes, suggesting that it is mostly a smooth and relatively undisturbed system. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively mature system, likely a disk galaxy seen edge-on with a fairly smooth distribution of light and stars.
