This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on, presenting a flattened, elongated shape. A central bulge, noticeably brighter and with a yellowish hue, dominates the galaxy's core region. Extending outwards from the bulge are the fainter and bluer-tinted remnants of a galactic disk. The dust lane obscures a clear view of the galaxy's structure, though the high degree of tilt makes it possible to deduce that it has spiral arms. The overall morphology suggests a massive galaxy with ongoing, but potentially limited, star formation. There is no obvious signs of merger activity or substantial disturbance. A large, rounded bulge suggests that it is likely a later-type galaxy.
