The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's disk, obscuring some of the starlight. The central bulge appears rounded and relatively bright, exhibiting a yellow-white hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. The disk is characterized by a bluer color. There is a potential merger or tidal disruption on the left side of the image where the spiral is being heavily distorted. The edge-on orientation complicates detailed morphological analysis, but the visible features suggest a disk galaxy with ongoing star formation.
