This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at a significant inclination, almost edge-on. A dust lane appears to bisect the galaxy. The galaxy exhibits a slightly elongated bulge that appears yellowish. The disk of the galaxy appears to be primarily blue, possibly indicating recent star formation. There are some patchy redder areas in the disk, possibly indicative of regions of older stellar populations or dust obscuration. The overall appearance suggests a moderately active galaxy with ongoing star formation and a relatively smooth morphology, but with some possible signs of minor disturbances. There is no clear evidence of a major merger event.
