The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, with a prominent central bulge that appears somewhat elongated. The bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, potentially indicating an older stellar population. Faint blueish regions are visible along the outer edges of the galactic disk, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation within the spiral arms. The dust lane, characteristic of edge-on spiral galaxies, is subtle but appears to slightly bisect the galaxy, obscuring some of the light from the bulge and contributing to the slightly irregular appearance of the disk. No obvious signs of strong tidal interactions or major mergers are apparent in this image. The galaxy appears relatively isolated and undisturbed.
