This galaxy appears to be a flattened, elliptical or lenticular system, viewed edge-on. The central bulge region shows a concentration of light, suggesting a higher density of older stars. The outer regions display a fainter, more diffuse light distribution, possibly indicating a population of younger stars or gas. There is a slight blue color cast to the outer regions. The galaxy has a smooth appearance, showing no distinct spiral arm structure or signs of ongoing major mergers. It appears elongated in shape, with a cigar-like morphology. There are slight indications of minor disturbances, but the system is mostly smooth.
