The galaxy appears as a relatively bright, disk-shaped structure with a noticeable bulge. The central bulge exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars. The disk component appears bluer, potentially indicating ongoing star formation. The galaxy is elongated, displaying a cigar-like shape, indicating it is being viewed at a significant inclination. There is no strong evidence of recent major merger events. The disk appears relatively smooth, but there are subtle hints of spiral arm structure with possible irregularities or minor disturbances, indicating interactions are possible.
