This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on, approximately 7 kiloparsecs in radius. It exhibits a prominent disk with a dust lane obscuring the midplane, visible as a dark band across the galaxy's major axis. The central bulge appears somewhat boxy, with a yellowish hue, potentially indicative of an older stellar population. There are hints of active star formation, with slightly bluer regions possibly signifying younger stars within the disk, however the star formation is not strong. The overall structure is relatively undisturbed, suggesting it is not currently undergoing a major merger. The galaxy's shape looks very close to perfectly edge on.
