This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy observed edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy horizontally, obscuring the light from the galactic center. The central bulge is noticeable as a concentration of light with a yellow/orange hue. The outer disk appears thinner and more elongated compared to the bulge. The arms are not clearly resolved but their presence can be inferred by the slight asymmetry in the distribution of the light and the observed warping of the galaxy disk. The galaxy shows signs of active star formation.
