This galaxy presents as a disk galaxy observed nearly edge-on. A prominent central bulge is apparent, exhibiting a yellowish-white hue indicative of an older stellar population. The disk component, viewed from this perspective, appears as a flattened, elongated structure extending outward from the central bulge. The disk displays a bluer color, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. The disk appears relatively smooth with a tightly wound spiral structure. There are no visible signs of recent major mergers or significant tidal disturbances in this image. The galaxy's overall morphology suggests a relatively undisturbed and mature system, with a well-defined disk and bulge structure.
