This galaxy presents as a spiral, viewed at a significant inclination, nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane is observed running along the major axis, obscuring some of the light from the galactic bulge. The bulge appears relatively small and subtly elongated. Diffuse spiral arms are discernable, exhibiting a clumpy structure indicative of star formation regions. The overall color of the disk is bluish, suggesting a substantial population of young, hot stars. There is a bright, point-like source superimposed on the disk near the bulge, potentially a foreground star or an active galactic nucleus. The galaxy displays mild disturbances in its outer disk, perhaps from a minor merger event. No obvious tidal tails are apparent. Overall, it appears to be a normal spiral galaxy with ongoing star formation and hints of recent interaction.
