The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, suggesting an elliptical morphology or a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. The central region exhibits a brighter, more concentrated luminosity, potentially indicating a substantial galactic nucleus. A reddish hue is apparent in one region, which could be indicative of an older stellar population or significant dust obscuration. The presence of bluer light extending from one side hints at some ongoing star formation activity in that area. The overall smooth appearance suggests a lack of distinct spiral arms or prominent features, although a possible disturbance can be seen in the elongated shape. It is possible there is a merger occurring, with the galaxy currently in the late stages of a merger event.
