The galaxy presents as a flattened, elongated structure, viewed nearly edge-on. There is a distinct central bulge region, which appears reddish-yellow, indicating a population of older stars. This bulge is surrounded by a dimmer, extended disk. The disk exhibits a bluer hue at the fringes, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and active star formation, although dust obscuration may also contribute to color variations within the disk. The absence of well-defined spiral arms further suggests a more ordered, less dynamically active structure. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no visible signs of major mergers or interactions.
