The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, disk-like structure seen at a significant angle to our line of sight. The central bulge exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity, suggesting a high density of stars. Moving outward from the bulge, the disk gradually diminishes in brightness. The disk also shows regions of slightly increased luminosity, potentially indicative of stellar formation. The lack of very clear spiral arm structures, and the generally smooth appearance of the disk, might point toward an older stellar population with lower star formation. There does appear to be a slight asymmetry in the galaxy's shape, but no obvious signs of a recent major merger event. There is a very faint and diffuse halo surrounding the disk component, which extends slightly beyond the main body of the galaxy. The color distribution suggests that the central bulge has redder colors than the galaxy's outer areas.
