This galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy observed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane is visible, bisecting the galaxy's disk and obscuring some of the light from the galactic bulge. The bulge appears somewhat rounded, and the disk itself exhibits a relatively smooth texture, though with hints of some substructure. The overall color suggests a mix of stellar populations, with some bluer regions potentially indicating recent star formation, and some older, redder stellar regions. There is no apparent evidence of a major merger or significant tidal disturbance affecting the galaxy's morphology.
