The galaxy presents as a flattened, disk-like structure viewed nearly edge-on. There is a central bulge that appears relatively smooth and concentrated, exhibiting a bright, yellowish-white hue. The disk component is more diffuse and exhibits a bluish tint, suggestive of ongoing or recent star formation. There appears to be a faint, extended halo or outer disk surrounding the main body of the galaxy, though its boundaries are poorly defined in this image. There is some evidence of possible tidal disturbances or minor mergers in the disk. The galaxy is not undergoing a major merger.
