The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. A dust lane is clearly visible bisecting the galaxy, absorbing light from the galactic bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Bluish light is present within the galactic disk, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars, likely regions of active star formation. The morphology does not suggest a major merger, though there are likely minor disturbances. There is an overall smooth distribution of light, especially concentrated in the central bulge with light decreasing further away from the bulge.
