The galaxy presents as a late-type spiral, seen almost perfectly edge-on from our line of sight. A prominent dust lane bisects the galactic disk, obscuring a significant portion of the starlight emitted from the far side of the galaxy. The central bulge appears relatively prominent, exhibiting a yellowish color, suggesting a population of older stars. The disk itself demonstrates a bluer hue along its outer edges, indicative of ongoing or recent star formation. The galaxy's morphology suggests a relatively undisturbed system, showing no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal interactions. There is a slight hint of boxiness in the bulge's morphology. The galaxy seems to be reasonably massive and actively forming stars.
