The galaxy appears as a flattened, disk-shaped structure, viewed nearly edge-on. A central bulge is visible, exhibiting a concentrated, yellowish-white luminosity, suggestive of an older stellar population. The disk appears to be extended, with a noticeable dust lane obscuring the starlight along the plane of the disk. The dust lane appears mottled, with some areas appearing more opaque than others. The disk's color transitions from yellow-white near the bulge to a slightly bluer hue towards the outer edges, potentially indicating more recent star formation in these regions. There is a slight asymmetry in the disk, with one side appearing more extended or disrupted, possibly due to a minor gravitational interaction or tidal disturbance. Patches of redder emission are visible along the disk, especially towards the disturbed side. Overall, the galaxy shows characteristics of a spiral galaxy, with features indicative of ongoing or recent star formation, dust obscuration, and a possible disturbance influencing its morphology.
