This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. A dust lane is evident along the midplane, obscuring a significant portion of the stellar disk. The central bulge is not very prominent and seems to blend smoothly into the disk. There's a hint of reddish color at one end, possibly indicating regions of ongoing star formation. The overall color suggests a mix of older stellar populations. There is a slight chance that it could be undergoing minor interactions due to a slight warp of the disk, or this warp could just be from the angle at which we are viewing this galaxy.
