The galaxy presents as an elongated, disk-shaped structure, characteristic of a spiral or lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. A prominent central bulge is observed, displaying a higher concentration of light and a reddish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population and possibly a significant dust presence. The disk, extending outwards from the bulge, appears relatively smooth and lacks distinct spiral arm structures in this image. The overall color gradient transitions from the reddish bulge to a bluer, fainter outer disk, indicative of differing stellar populations and potential ongoing star formation in the periphery. The galaxy exhibits a notable degree of flattening, with the ratio of minor to major axis significantly less than one. The relative smoothness of the disk could indicate a lack of recent major merger events or significant tidal interactions. Overall, this galaxy appears to be an evolved system, possibly undergoing a quiescent period of star formation.
