This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, observed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring a fraction of the stellar light emitted from the galactic disk. This dust lane extends beyond the central bulge. The galactic bulge itself seems relatively small.

There is evidence of some irregularity or a potential interaction. A faint plume or tidal tail extends from one side of the galaxy, indicating a gravitational disturbance. It is difficult to assess the nature of this disturbance from a single image but it might indicate a minor merger event. The overall color of the galaxy suggests active star formation, with bluer regions interspersed within the disk, although the central region shows a redder hue indicating an older stellar population. The galaxy is not perfectly symmetric, with one side of the disk appearing somewhat fainter or less extended than the other.
