This galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, seen almost perfectly edge-on.  A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's disk, obscuring the central bulge region and giving the galaxy a flattened appearance. The bulge appears small. The disk exhibits a diffuse blue hue, particularly at the outer edges, potentially indicative of ongoing star formation within the spiral arms. The overall color of the central bulge is more yellow/orange, hinting at an older stellar population compared to the disk. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, showing no major signs of a recent merger.
