This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. It presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a bright central bulge that fades into a less defined disk. There are faint hints of spiral arm structure, particularly slightly bluer regions at either end of the major axis, suggesting the presence of younger stellar populations. The central bulge is predominantly white, which would indicate an older population of stars. Some subtle asymmetries in the overall shape are possibly indicative of minor gravitational interactions or past merger events. The overall color suggests the galaxy is a relatively passive spiral, with moderate rates of star formation.
