This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy with a prominent bulge. There seems to be some dust-lane features, possibly organized in a spiral pattern, though any arms are ill-defined. The galaxy is relatively compact in size and appears somewhat smooth, with a blue colored disk, and a high inclination relative to our line of sight, nearly edge-on. There are possible signs of minor disturbances within the galaxy, though no major merger or interaction features are immediately apparent in this image. There is some indication of on-going or recent star formation. There appears to be a central active galactic nuclei emitting light that is scattering into our line of sight.
