The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, seen nearly edge-on. The central bulge is a diffuse yellow-white color, suggesting an older stellar population. Extending outward from the bulge are faint spiral arms that appear blueish, hinting at ongoing star formation. The overall shape of the galaxy is elongated, consistent with a late-type spiral observed at a high inclination angle. There's no obvious indication of a strong active galactic nucleus or major merger event, although there appears to be a slight asymmetry in the outer disk regions.
