This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, with a pronounced central bulge. A distinct dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring a portion of the starlight. The galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth texture, with only subtle hints of spiral arm structure visible. The bulge appears yellowish, potentially indicating an older stellar population, while the outer disk shows a bluer tint, possibly due to ongoing star formation. The galaxy's overall luminosity suggests it is a massive system. The high prevalence of edge-on morphology combined with minor disturbance characteristics indicate it may be experiencing a recent interaction.
