The galaxy appears to be a relatively small, edge-on spiral, displaying a flattened, elongated shape. A central bulge is visible as a concentration of brighter, yellowish light, suggesting a higher density of older stars in that region. The disk component of the galaxy is oriented nearly along our line of sight, and exhibits a bluer hue, potentially indicating ongoing star formation. The disk is asymmetrical and somewhat diffuse, with less tightly wound spiral arms. There is evidence of dust lanes or obscuring material along the plane of the galaxy, causing some unevenness in the distribution of light. The galaxy's overall structure appears to be relatively undisturbed, lacking any strong signs of recent merger activity. The outer regions of the disk fade gradually, suggesting a lower density of stars and gas at larger radii.
