This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge that appears somewhat elongated and boxy. Dust lanes are visible along the equatorial plane, obscuring light from the bulge and disk behind them. The disk is relatively smooth, suggesting either a lack of significant recent star formation or a more uniform distribution of stars and dust. The galaxy appears to be relatively isolated, without obvious signs of major interactions or mergers. The galaxy's size, as indicated by the scale, appears to be substantial, and the overall color suggests a mix of stellar populations.
