The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, oriented edge-on relative to our line of sight. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring the central bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population, potentially dominated by red giants. The disk appears somewhat fainter and bluer in color, indicative of more recent star formation and the presence of younger, hotter stars. There appears to be little evidence of active galactic nuclei activity or significant tidal interactions. There may be a very faint indication of possible spiral arm structure extending slightly above and below the central bulge, but these are not easily discernible due to the edge-on orientation. Overall, the galaxy seems relatively undisturbed and well-formed.
