This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. It exhibits a bright, moderately concentrated central bulge, with a fainter disk extending outwards. The dust lane is visible, bisecting the galaxy and obscuring light from the bulge along the midplane. The disk appears relatively smooth with no obvious spiral arm structure visible at this resolution, suggesting either a lack of strong star formation in the arms or that they are obscured by the edge-on view. The disk appears to be more extended on one side of the bulge. There is minimal evidence of any major mergers or significant tidal disturbances in this image, but some minor disturbances cannot be ruled out at this image resolution. The color gradient suggests some active star formation within the galaxy.
