The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, possibly of type Sa or Sb, viewed at an oblique angle. There is a bright, yellowish central bulge, indicating a significant population of older stars. Surrounding the bulge is a faint disk. While indistinct, there is a slight asymmetry in the disk, perhaps indicating minor gravitational disturbance or interaction with a smaller satellite galaxy. A very small amount of blue is visible in the disk, suggesting a lower rate of star formation. The galaxy displays no obvious signs of major recent merger events. The overall color is relatively red, suggesting a higher proportion of evolved stars, with low levels of on-going star formation.
