The galaxy presents as a relatively well-defined spiral, viewed at a significant angle, close to edge-on. A central bulge is apparent, exhibiting a yellowish-orange hue, which likely indicates an older stellar population. Extending outwards from the bulge, faint and somewhat diffuse spiral arms can be discerned. These arms display bluer regions, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars, and areas of active star formation. The disk itself appears slightly warped or disturbed, possibly due to past interactions or internal dynamics. No prominent dust lanes are immediately visible, however, there are some faint dark features within the disk that could be obscuring dust clouds. The overall color profile suggests a galaxy with a mixture of stellar populations and ongoing star formation.
