This galaxy exhibits a disk-like morphology, viewed nearly edge-on. The central bulge appears prominent and somewhat elongated. There's evidence of dust lanes obscuring portions of the disk, particularly along the equatorial plane, giving it a slightly irregular appearance. The color gradient suggests that the central regions are comprised of an older stellar population, indicated by the yellow-orange hue. Hints of bluer regions are visible in the outer disk, consistent with ongoing star formation. The galaxy displays low-level disturbances, but there are no indications of a recent major merger, though minor gravitational interactions cannot be ruled out. The estimated size of the galaxy is approximately 7 kiloparsecs across.
