The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-shaped structure, viewed nearly edge-on from our line of sight. A prominent central bulge exhibits a concentrated luminosity, with a yellowish hue suggesting an older stellar population. The disk appears thin and attenuated, with a noticeable dust lane obscuring parts of the light from the bulge. Subtle color variations are observed along the disk, with some bluer regions potentially indicating areas of more recent star formation. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively smooth and lacking in distinct, resolved spiral arm features.
