The galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, viewed at a high inclination, giving it an elongated, cigar-like shape. There is a noticeable central bulge, which exhibits a yellowish hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population. The disk is visible surrounding the bulge. It presents a blueish tint, indicating the presence of younger stars and potentially ongoing star formation. It exhibits no apparent signs of significant disturbance, such as tidal tails or strong asymmetries, although there is a faint, subtle irregularity at one end of the disk. There is no distinct spiral arm structure immediately apparent. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively smooth in texture.
