This galaxy presents as a late-type spiral, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galactic disk, obscuring the starlight and giving it a reddish hue. The central bulge appears relatively small and indistinct, with a soft, diffuse glow. The disk is elongated and appears thin, indicating a high degree of flattening. There is a bright, concentrated core suggesting a possible active galactic nucleus or a region of intense star formation at its center. Overall, the galaxy exhibits a smooth, relatively undisturbed morphology with no obvious signs of recent major mergers or interactions.
