This galaxy exhibits a distinct elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. It appears relatively smooth, with a brighter, more concentrated central bulge that gradually fades towards the edges of the disk. The galaxy displays subtle color variations; the central bulge shows a yellowish-white hue, potentially indicating an older stellar population, while the outer regions of the disk have a bluer tint, possibly suggesting ongoing star formation. There is no apparent strong spiral structure or obvious signs of major disturbances like tidal tails or prominent dust lanes. The overall impression is that of a well-formed galaxy with a reasonably ordered structure and a mass equivalent to other galaxies of its kind.
