The galaxy presents as a flattened, elongated structure with a prominent central bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. Fainter blue regions extend outwards from the central bulge along the longitudinal axis, perhaps indicative of ongoing or recent star formation. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, showing no strong signs of major mergers or tidal distortions in this image. It possesses a smooth overall appearance. The narrow, cigar-like shape suggests that we may be observing the galaxy at a high inclination. The spatial extent of the galaxy appears relatively compact, given the observable features.
