This appears to be a spiral galaxy observed edge-on. The central bulge is prominent and elongated along the major axis, displaying a yellowish-orange hue that suggests an older stellar population. A dark dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring light from regions behind it and indicating the presence of significant interstellar medium within the galactic disk. The disk is quite thin, showing only hints of spiral structure extending from the bulge. It appears that active star formation is occuring, which is inferred by the blue colors. Overall, the galaxy seems to be relatively undisturbed with no obvious signs of tidal interactions or mergers. It is potentially undergoing active star formation.
