This galaxy presents a clear edge-on disk orientation. There is a bright, concentrated central bulge. The bulge appears smooth and somewhat rounded. The disk component is elongated with a diffuse, dusty appearance, suggesting ongoing star formation. The colors show a gradient; the bulge exhibiting a yellowish/orange hue indicative of older stellar populations, while the disk appears slightly bluer, particularly in the outer regions, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars. The overall structure is relatively undisturbed with no immediately visible signs of major recent mergers or tidal interactions. There is subtle evidence of possible dust lanes within the disk. The galaxy displays a classical spiral galaxy morphology when viewed at this inclination.
