The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, with a somewhat elongated, cigar-like morphology. The central region exhibits a concentrated luminosity, likely indicating a significant stellar population and/or active galactic nucleus. The outer regions display a diffuse, less-defined structure, exhibiting a faint blue hue, suggestive of ongoing or recent star formation. The lack of prominent spiral arms or distinct features implies that this galaxy is either an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. There is no clear indication of a major ongoing merger, though the galaxy's shape does not rule out a minor past interaction or disturbance. The overall color suggests a mixture of older stellar populations dominating the core and younger stars contributing to the bluer outer regions.
