This galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's central bulge, obscuring light from the far side of the disk and suggesting a significant amount of interstellar dust within the galactic plane. The bulge appears to be a relatively smooth distribution of light, indicating a likely older stellar population. The disk component is significantly elongated, exhibiting a higher surface brightness at its core, gradually decreasing outwards. The galaxy does not show signs of strong tidal interactions or major disturbances; however, there is a slight asymmetry visible in the disk, possibly due to a minor interaction or internal processes. The apparent color suggests a moderate level of recent or ongoing star formation, as evidenced by the blue component of the light, though it is predominantly a redder color which is typical for disk galaxies at moderate redshifts.
