The galaxy in the provided image appears to be an elongated, disk-shaped structure, exhibiting a notable cigar-shaped morphology. There are blue tints visible, suggesting the presence of some younger, hotter stars and thus, recent or ongoing star formation, though not at intense rates. The galaxy's light distribution is relatively smooth. It does not appear to be undergoing any major mergers. There is some evidence of possible minor disturbances in the galaxy's structure. The central region shows a slight concentration of light, possibly indicating a bulge component. The overall low surface brightness suggests that this galaxy is of relatively low mass. Based on the color and apparent shape, this galaxy could be classified as a late-type spiral or irregular galaxy seen edge-on.
