The galaxy appears to be an edge-on spiral. There is a bright central bulge, which is elongated along the major axis. A dust lane is visible bisecting the galaxy, obscuring the light from the disk and further material within the center. The dust lane appears patchy, with varying degrees of opacity. There appears to be a slight warp or bending visible in the disk, potentially indicative of a minor gravitational interaction. Overall, the galaxy has a moderate degree of disturbance based on visible features. The color suggests older stellar populations may dominate the bulge, with bluer, younger stars possibly present in the disk regions not obscured by dust. The shape is largely smooth with slight disturbances. No clear spiral arms are visible, due to the edge-on view.
