This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge that is bright and appears smooth with a yellowish hue. The disk is also quite bright and is thin, oriented horizontally across the image, with a notable dust lane visible along its central plane. The dust lane obscures and reddens the light from the bulge and disk behind it. The disk appears to extend further on either side of the bulge. The light distribution of the disk suggests it is relatively smooth and symmetric with a subtle color gradient. The outer regions of the galaxy become fainter, suggesting a gradual decrease in stellar density. No obvious spiral arm structure or distinct star-forming regions are clearly visible, likely due to the near edge-on orientation. There might be a slight asymmetry in the extent of the disk.
