This appears to be a spiral galaxy, oriented edge-on with respect to our line of sight. The central bulge region exhibits a yellow to reddish hue, possibly indicative of an older stellar population with decreased star formation activity. A distinct dust lane is visible bisecting the galaxy's disk. The disk component appears blueish in color. A disk is the dominant feature. There is no significant indication of major ongoing merger activity, although some minor disturbances cannot be ruled out. The bulge appears to be rounded.
