The galaxy presents as a flattened, disk-like structure, oriented nearly edge-on from our vantage point. A central bulge, exhibiting a yellowish hue, is apparent, suggesting an older stellar population concentrated in that region. Fainter blueish light extends outwards from the central bulge. The general smoothness of the light distribution suggests a system that has largely settled into a stable configuration, without evidence of a recent major merger event. There appears to be some star formation occurring, as hinted by the blue color in the surrounding disk. There are no clear signs of spiral arm structure resolved.
