The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. There is a clear central bulge, however it has a less defined spherical shape. A faint disk is visible, with a blueish hue, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars. No prominent dust lanes are visible, which suggests the galaxy is relatively face-on or the dust is evenly distributed. There are few distinct features that would indicate an active merging event, however it is difficult to classify since the image does not have high-resolution detail. The overall shape and color suggest a relatively calm galaxy with moderate ongoing star formation.
