The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed edge-on. A prominent dust lane is visible, obscuring some of the light from the central bulge. The bulge component seems relatively small and indistinct compared to the overall disk. Star formation is likely occurring within the disk, indicated by the presence of bluer regions, although it appears to be relatively quiescent given the dominant redder color of the bulge. The galaxy appears largely undisturbed, exhibiting no obvious signs of tidal interactions or recent mergers, and its light is likely dominated by older stellar populations. The galaxy shape is somewhat elongated.
