The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, observed at an angle close to edge-on. The central bulge is bright and elongated. A faint disk appears to extend beyond the bulge. The galaxy exhibits a blueish tint, possibly indicating active star formation, and a redshift suggests it is at a significant cosmological distance. The galaxy's shape is cigar-like. There is no evidence of ongoing major mergers or significant tidal disturbances. The outer regions of the disk are not clearly resolved, blending into the background sky. The image shows a galaxy with both smooth features. There is no clear dust lane visible.
