This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, oriented nearly edge-on from our perspective. There is a noticeable central bulge that is brighter and more concentrated than the rest of the galaxy. The bulge is also more yellow in color than the outer regions, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk is relatively thin and elongated, exhibiting a faint bluish hue indicative of recent star formation. There is some evidence of dust lanes running along the plane of the galaxy, obscuring some of the light from the bulge. The overall structure is relatively undisturbed, with no major signs of tidal distortions or recent mergers, though some minor irregularities in the disk cannot be ruled out.
