The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, seen nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's disk, obscuring the central bulge. The bulge itself appears relatively small and round, though obscuration makes a precise characterization difficult. The disk extends significantly from the bulge and exhibits signs of ongoing star formation, evidenced by faint blue hues in the outer regions, though these regions are not as prominent as the dust lane. No major signs of interaction are visible; the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed.
