The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, seen almost perfectly edge-on from our vantage point. A distinct bulge is not easily discernible, potentially indicating either a small bulge or one that is obscured by dust within the galactic plane. There's a dust lane running along the mid-plane, characteristic of spiral galaxies viewed edge-on, and this appears to absorb much of the light from the central region of the galaxy. The outer disk presents with a diffuse, hazy quality, which could be due to faint, unresolved stellar populations or scattering of light by dust. No signs of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances are apparent, and the galaxy appears relatively isolated and unperturbed. The color gradient across the galaxy suggests some degree of ongoing star formation, concentrated within the disk.
