This galaxy presents as a disk-shaped system viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring a significant portion of the central bulge. The bulge appears moderately bright, indicating a relatively dense stellar population. Faint, diffuse spiral arms extend outward from the central bulge. These arms have a bluish tint suggesting the presence of young, hot stars and ongoing star formation. There appears to be evidence of some kind of minor disturbance possibly through an interaction. However, on the whole, the galaxy seems well organized and has not undergone any major mergers. The overall morphology suggests a galaxy with a significant disk component, active star formation, and an approximate mass of 10^9.6 solar masses.
