Observed is a galaxy exhibiting a flattened, disk-like morphology viewed at an almost edge-on angle. Light emitted is predominantly in the green, with some contribution from blue, suggesting a population of stars with relatively high temperatures. There is evidence of a central bulge, which appears brighter and more concentrated than the surrounding disk. A dark band appears to bisect the galaxy, obscuring a portion of the galactic disc. This could be an indication of a significant dust lane.
