This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, oriented edge-on relative to our line of sight. The central bulge is prominent and elongated, appearing smooth and concentrated. The light is reddish-yellow. The disk is relatively thin and faint, with a bluer hue. The disk appears largely undisturbed. The edge-on orientation obscures any detailed spiral arm structure, but there might be hints of dust lanes or other features within the disk. Overall, the galaxy exhibits characteristics consistent with an evolved spiral system with ongoing, but not extremely high, levels of star formation.
