The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped object. Its light profile appears generally smooth, with a concentration of yellowish light towards the center, suggesting an older stellar population in the galactic bulge. Fainter bluish hues extend outwards from the central region along the major axis, possibly indicating areas of more recent star formation within a disk-like structure. There appears to be a very slight distortion of the overall shape, possibly hinting at minor gravitational interactions. The galaxy is relatively massive and demonstrates moderate star-formation activity.
