The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, observed nearly edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge, which appears to be rounded in shape. Faint indications of a galactic disk are visible extending outwards from the bulge. This is further supported by what seems to be obscuring dust lanes visible around the central bulge. There are some faint blue regions outside the bulge, which may indicate regions of active star formation within the disk. No indications of a recent major merger are apparent in the image, nor is there evidence of significant tidal disruption or interaction with other galaxies nearby. The galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth overall structure.
