This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy seen at a slight angle, not quite edge-on. The central bulge exhibits a concentrated, yellowish light, indicative of an older stellar population. Fainter, bluish light extends outwards in a diffuse manner. This could be a combination of both light from the disk and light scattered from the stars in the halo. The faintness suggests a relatively low ongoing star formation rate, with minimal prominent spiral arm structure visible. There is a hint of disturbances to the galaxy's morphology, possibly indicating minor gravitational interactions.
