The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. There is a prominent dust lane bisecting the galaxy, obscuring the central bulge. The bulge itself appears somewhat elongated and may have a boxy shape. The spiral arms are not clearly resolved due to the edge-on orientation, but there appears to be some patchy star formation distributed throughout the disk. The galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth overall appearance, with some signs of minor disturbances, although it is generally undisturbed. The galaxy's color suggests active star formation. The galaxy seems to be of substantial mass with a high star formation rate.
