This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent bulge is visible, concentrated in the center, with an apparent yellow-white hue. The disk component is visible as a thin line extending horizontally from the bulge. The disk appears to have areas of redder light, which could indicate older stellar populations or dust lanes obscuring bluer light. There is also a faint blue-green glow on parts of the disk, possibly from areas of more recent star formation. The galaxy does not show any obvious signs of major mergers or strong tidal disturbances.
