The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, seen edge-on from our vantage point. It exhibits a somewhat elongated, cigar-like shape. The central bulge is not particularly prominent, and appears relatively smooth, with a slight yellowish tint in the middle. Faint blueish light is observed along the edges of the galaxy, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars and potential ongoing star formation. There is no clear evidence of any major mergers or significant tidal disturbances in its immediate vicinity. The overall structure suggests a galaxy undergoing relatively quiescent evolution.
