The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-shaped structure, viewed nearly edge-on from our vantage point. There is a bright central bulge, appearing smooth and somewhat rounded. The surrounding disk exhibits a generally smooth texture, with hints of some subtle structure; possibly spiral arms that are tightly wound. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a bluer hue in the outer disk to a more yellow/red color towards the center, suggesting the presence of a bulge with an older stellar population, while the blue color in the disk suggests ongoing star formation. There are hints of dust lanes within the disk, observable as dark obscurations. The galaxy appears relatively isolated, lacking obvious signs of recent major merger activity or significant tidal disturbances.
