This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. The dominant feature is a flattened disk structure. There is evidence of a central bulge, slightly more concentrated than the rest of the disk. There is a clear color gradient within the galaxy, with a central region that appears more yellow/orange, possibly indicating an older stellar population or higher dust content. The outer regions of the disk are more blue, potentially indicating the presence of younger stars. The disk appears relatively smooth with no obvious distinct spiral arm structures. There is a noticeable dust lane visible along the mid-plane of the disk, obscuring some of the light from the bulge.
