The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a generally smooth appearance. A central bulge is visible, gradually fading into a less defined disk. There's a hint of spiral structure, but it appears to be a rather tightly wound or disrupted form, with blue hues concentrated along the disk suggesting regions of recent or ongoing star formation. Some faint patches of red, potentially indicating dust lanes or older stellar populations, are visible within the disk. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no major signs of an ongoing merger, though subtle irregularities might indicate minor interactions or internal disturbances. The overall color suggests a mix of stellar populations, with a possible dominance of older stars in the bulge and younger stars in the disk.
