The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring the central bulge and likely contributing to a reddening of the light observed from that region. The central bulge appears somewhat boxy in shape. The disk appears relatively smooth and lacks the clumpy structure often associated with active star formation regions in grand design spiral galaxies. There is evidence of minor disturbances or faint tidal features. The galaxy exhibits a reddish hue toward the center, transitioning to a bluer color in the outer regions of the disk. The galaxy is at a moderate redshift, indicating it's relatively distant. Given its appearance and color profile, it is likely that this is a relatively massive galaxy with a high star formation rate.
