The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-shaped structure seen nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane obscures the central region, bifurcating the disk and suggesting significant internal obscuration. The color profile exhibits a distinct gradient, transitioning from a bluer hue at the outer edges to a more yellow-orange color towards the central bulge. This color difference likely indicates a gradient in stellar population, with younger, hotter stars populating the outer disk and older, cooler stars residing in the bulge. There is no evidence of strong spiral arm structure, though the asymmetry in the disk's light distribution might imply some degree of gravitational disturbance or interaction. The disk appears relatively smooth with subtle undulations, possibly reflecting ongoing star formation regions. A bright central region, likely harboring a supermassive black hole, is seen.
