The galaxy presents as a disk-shaped object, observed nearly edge-on from our vantage point. A central bulge is apparent, exhibiting a yellowish hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. Fainter, diffuse arms extend outwards from the central bulge, displaying a bluer tint in certain regions. This bluer color may indicate regions of recent or ongoing star formation. There is evidence of possible minor disturbance of the disk as indicated by the arm structures. Overall the galaxy exhibits colors indicative of an older galaxy but there are small pockets of star formation.
