The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, disk-shaped object. It appears to have a central bulge that is brighter and more yellow in color, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk is somewhat elongated, exhibiting a mild cigar shape, and the galaxy is oriented roughly edge-on to our line of sight. There are subtle hints of bluer light in the outer regions of the disk, which may indicate regions of more recent star formation, however, the star formation appears to be relatively low overall. There is no major evidence of ongoing mergers or significant tidal disturbances. The morphology suggests a galaxy that has largely completed its major evolutionary phases and is currently experiencing a period of relative quiescence.
