This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge, which appears smooth and bright. The disk is visible as a thin, elongated structure extending outwards from the bulge. The galaxy exhibits a bluish hue overall, suggesting the presence of young, hot stars and ongoing star formation, particularly in the disk. There is no immediately visible evidence of strong tidal distortions or major merger events. Minor disturbances may be present, but the overall structure is relatively undisturbed. The disk appears dusty, as evidenced by some dark patches or lanes that may obscure some of the light from stars behind them, these are likely regions of higher dust concentration within the spiral arms.
