The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on, with a prominent dust lane bisecting the galactic disk. The central bulge is relatively bright and elongated, appearing smooth and somewhat yellowish in color. The disk itself appears thin and extended, showing hints of blueish color in regions, suggesting areas of ongoing star formation. There is little evidence of strong tidal features or interactions with other galaxies, though the edge-on perspective may obscure subtle disturbances. The overall shape is regular, with no obvious signs of recent major mergers.
