The object appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. A central bulge is visible with a bright yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The galactic disk extends outwards from the bulge, appearing elongated and relatively thin. Some blueish regions are visible along the edges of the disk, hinting at areas of more recent star formation. The overall light distribution suggests a significant stellar mass. There is no obvious indication of a major merger event. Some slight irregularities in the disk might indicate minor gravitational disturbances. Dust lanes are suspected, although the image resolution makes them difficult to ascertain clearly.
