The galaxy appears to be a spiral, viewed at an inclined angle. Its morphology exhibits a notable elongation, approximating a cigar shape. The central bulge is prominent, with a yellowish-white hue, indicating a population of older stars. Fainter, diffuse spiral arms extend outwards from the bulge, showing hints of bluer regions which suggests the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. However, the spiral arm structure seems somewhat disturbed or ill-defined, lacking the sharp definition of grand-design spirals. There are no obvious signs of tidal tails or major merger events, although subtle distortions in the outer regions cannot be ruled out without further investigation. The overall impression is that of a galaxy with a significant stellar mass and moderate levels of ongoing star formation.
