The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, seen nearly edge-on from our vantage point. A prominent bulge is visible at the center, which is a slightly yellow color, and appears to be rounded in shape. The disk component of the galaxy appears thin, and is oriented horizontally across the image. There is some indication of dust lanes obscuring the light from the far side of the disk. The disk exhibits a mottled texture, which may indicate areas of active star formation. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merger events. The redshift indicates that the galaxy is at a significant distance from us.
