The object in the image appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed almost edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge exhibiting a yellowish hue, indicative of an older stellar population. A thin disk extends outwards from this bulge. The disk appears fairly smooth, without substantial knotty or irregular structures. There is some evidence of faint, diffuse spiral arms within the disk component that also contribute to the blue color. There appears to be some dust content present. There is some evidence of recent star formation within the galaxy, although not at a particularly high rate. There is the suggestion of minor disturbances or asymmetries, but no clear signs of a recent major merger or tidal interactions.
