This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at a near edge-on angle. A central bulge component exhibits a yellow-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population with minimal ongoing star formation in this region. Dust lanes appear to be present, and these partially obscure and redden the light from stars on the near side of the galaxy. The galaxy has a faint, diffuse disk component extending outwards from the bulge and this disk appears blue, likely indicating ongoing star formation. No major merger events are apparent and its morphology is generally smooth and undisturbed.
