This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed almost perfectly edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge, which displays a smooth, rounded morphology. The dust lane bisecting the galaxy along its major axis is highly apparent and attenuates the light from the stars residing within the galactic disk. There is a slight asymmetry, potentially indicating some minor disturbance, but overall the disk appears relatively undisturbed, and the system is likely not undergoing a major merger. Colors suggest active star formation, particularly in the galactic plane. There is a high probability of a disk-like structure observed edge-on.
