This galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy, viewed at a considerable inclination, almost edge-on, from our line of sight. A central bulge appears bright and yellowish-white, indicating a population of older stars. Fainter disk components are visible extending outward from the bulge, with a slightly blue tint suggesting a small population of younger stars or regions of active star formation. Some asymmetry and subtle distortions along the outer edges may suggest minor gravitational interactions. The overall structure exhibits a level of smoothness, with hints of dusty spiral arms embedded within. A very faint halo is apparent, extending beyond the visible disk.
