The galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, seen edge-on. The central bulge is prominent and has a yellow-orange color, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk itself is bluer in color and more diffuse, possibly indicating regions of active star formation. The galaxy appears elongated, its major axis being several times greater than its minor axis. There is slight asymmetry in the outer disk of the galaxy, potentially due to minor gravitational disturbances. The disk is relatively smooth and featureless, without any obvious spiral arm structure visible.
