The galaxy presents as a flattened, elongated structure suggestive of a late-type spiral or an edge-on lenticular galaxy. The color gradient across the galactic disk indicates a possible change in stellar populations, with a slightly bluer hue on one end, suggesting regions of active star formation, and a redder hue on the other. The redder region might indicate an older stellar population. The lack of pronounced spiral arm structure or a distinct bulge suggests that the galaxy may be viewed nearly edge-on. There is no clear indication of any ongoing major merger activity or significant tidal disturbances in this image. The smoothness of the galaxy's light profile, with a lack of clumpy star-forming regions, would mean that the galaxy is not heavily involved in star formation, and may be considered relatively quiescent.
