This galaxy presents as a relatively compact, disk-shaped system seen nearly edge-on from our vantage point. There is a prominent central bulge that appears somewhat bright and is reddish in color. This color suggests a population of older stars, potentially indicating a less active region of star formation in the galactic center. The disk is quite flat and presents a greenish hue. Based on the disk's color, there may be active star formation occurring within the disk. There is no evidence of tidal streams, strong asymmetries, or other obvious signs of major mergers or interactions, although it is possible a minor merger occurred recently. The overall smooth appearance suggests that it is a well-formed system.
