This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. There is a central bulge that dominates the galaxy's light output, appearing smooth and rounded. The disk is thin, very long, and visible on either side of the bulge and is feature-rich, showing signs of internal structure possibly due to dust lanes. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merging activity or significant gravitational disturbance. Given the apparent colour profile and the absence of prominent blue regions, the galaxy likely has a moderate amount of ongoing star formation.
