The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. A dust lane is visible bisecting the galaxy, obscuring some of the starlight. There's evidence of active star formation, visible as clumps of bright regions within the disk. There isn't a bright central bulge; the bulge is relatively small. The overall impression is that the galaxy is likely relatively massive and actively forming stars. There is no sign of any major disturbances or evidence of a recent merger.
