The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge that appears relatively smooth and concentrated, with a bright, possibly active galactic nucleus. Dust lanes are visible obscuring some of the light from the bulge. The disk is relatively thin and elongated. Based on the image, we can infer that the galaxy is likely a late-type spiral galaxy. There appear to be some minor disturbances or asymmetrical features in the outer regions of the disk, hinting at a possible past or ongoing interaction with another galaxy. There is evidence of active star formation, possibly concentrated within the spiral arms, given the bluer color. The galaxy exhibits a notable amount of dust attenuation.
