This galaxy presents as a disk-like structure, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's visible light, indicating significant obscuration within the galactic plane. There is a central, slightly brighter region that might suggest a bulge, although the image resolution limits definitive conclusions. The overall color profile indicates a mix of stellar populations, with a reddish hue prevailing in the outer regions, potentially due to older stars or dust extinction. Patches of bluer color are visible in the central areas, possibly suggesting regions of more active star formation. There is a hint of a disturbed morphology, with asymmetries in the galaxy's shape and a faint suggestion of tidal features or interactions, indicating that it might be undergoing a merger or experiencing gravitational interactions.
