This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at a high inclination, close to edge-on. There's a discernible bulge in the center, surrounded by a disk of material extending outwards. Within the disk, there is evidence of patchy star formation, indicated by regions of bluer light, particularly towards the outer edges. The galaxy's smooth fraction suggests the presence of a substantial spheroidal component, but the relatively high fraction of "featured or disk" indicates the presence of spiral arms or other irregular features within the disk. There is no strong evidence for a recent major merger event or significant tidal disturbances in this image, although minor asymmetries or irregularities might be present. The color of the central bulge appears slightly redder than the disk, which is consistent with an older stellar population. The galaxy's relatively small angular size suggests that it is moderately distant.
