This galaxy presents as a flattened, disk-shaped structure seen at a high inclination, nearly edge-on. A central bulge is apparent, exhibiting a concentrated, yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk component shows a bluer color gradient extending outwards from the bulge, possibly indicating ongoing star formation. Irregularities in the disk’s structure are visible, which could indicate the presence of disturbances. There is a hint of a tidal feature or distorted arm extending away from the primary disk. The overall color suggests a significant presence of older stars, with pockets of younger stars and/or dust contributing to the blueish regions in the disk. This galaxy may be experiencing minor disturbances, possibly due to a past or ongoing interaction with another galaxy.
