The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-shaped morphology, suggesting it is likely a spiral viewed at a high inclination, close to edge-on. A central bulge appears prominent, exhibiting a yellowish-white hue, possibly indicative of an older stellar population and a relatively low rate of star formation in this region. Fainter blueish regions are observed along the edges of the galaxy, which may indicate the presence of younger, hotter stars within spiral arms.  There appears to be a slight distortion in the galaxy's shape or a possible minor disturbance in the disk.
