The galaxy appears to be a relatively large, disk-shaped system seen nearly edge-on. It exhibits a central bulge that is a yellowish-orange color, suggesting an older stellar population, potentially dominated by Population II stars. The disk component displays a bluer hue, indicative of ongoing star formation and younger, hotter stars. The galaxy exhibits a generally smooth appearance, with no prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes visible in this image, which could be due to the edge-on view or the relatively high redshift. The overall shape is elongated, with an axis ratio suggesting it may be classified as an Sa or Sb galaxy if viewed face-on. The moderate redshift suggests a significant distance, further supporting the conclusion that it is a massive system with considerable intrinsic luminosity. There are some hints of minor disturbances or asymmetries in the disk's outer regions, potentially caused by past interactions or mergers.
