This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy observed edge-on. There is a distinct central bulge, brighter and more concentrated than the rest of the galactic disk. The bulge appears to be smoothly distributed and nearly circular. The disk is visible as a faint, elongated structure extending horizontally from the central bulge. There is no clear dust lane visible, but there are likely several features associated with the disk. The overall color of the galaxy appears somewhat reddish, hinting at an older stellar population and a low rate of star formation. There do not appear to be any major signs of recent galaxy mergers or interactions, however there is the presence of minor disturbances visible on the edge. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with a generally smooth structure.
