The galaxy presents as a flattened, disk-like structure, oriented approximately edge-on relative to our line of sight. The central bulge appears luminous and yellowish-white in color, suggesting a population of older stars. The disk component, extending outwards from the bulge, exhibits a faint, mottled texture. The blueish-green hue present within portions of the disk is indicative of star formation activity. This could mean there are dust lanes present or perhaps a spiral structure obscured by the viewing angle. There is no apparent evidence of a major merger, although subtle asymmetries could indicate minor interactions or internal disturbances.
