This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy seen at an oblique angle. There is a central bulge with what appears to be a tightly wound spiral arm structure, exhibiting a smooth and fairly symmetric light distribution. I observe a distinct dust lane partially obscuring the central region, indicative of significant gas and dust content within the galactic disk. The overall color suggests a mix of stellar populations, with a central yellow-white region and fainter bluish arms, indicating some ongoing star formation, although likely at a moderate rate. There may be some minor disturbances, but overall the galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger or have undergone one recently. The disk has a generally smooth appearance with no irregular features that stand out.
