This galaxy presents as a disk-shaped system viewed nearly edge-on. There is a distinct bulge in the center, which appears to be smoothly rounded and elongated along the major axis of the disk. The bulge exhibits a yellowish-white color, suggesting a population of older stars. The disk is visible as a fainter, more diffuse extension along the same axis. The disk appears bluish at the edges, perhaps indicating regions of more recent star formation. No prominent dust lanes or spiral arm structures are visible. There is no obvious evidence of any major mergers or tidal disturbances, although the outer regions of the disk are somewhat ill-defined. Overall, this galaxy appears to be a relatively undisturbed disk galaxy with ongoing, but not vigorous, star formation.
