This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, disk-like system with an elongated, cigar-like shape when viewed from our perspective. There is a concentrated central bulge or core, which is more luminous and exhibits a yellowish hue, likely indicating an older stellar population. Fainter, bluish light extends outward from the center, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars possibly within faint spiral arms, although the resolution limits a definitive assessment of spiral structure. There's some evidence of minor gravitational disturbance or interaction with another galaxy as the outer edges of the disk are asymmetrical, but the system shows no prominent signs of a recent major merger event. The galaxy is not particularly active in terms of star formation.
