This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, or possibly a lenticular galaxy, given the smooth, elongated appearance and lack of resolved spiral arm structure in this imagery. A prominent central bulge is visible, characterized by a concentrated, bright region exhibiting a yellowish-white hue. The bulge appears to be rounded. A very thin, faint, and elongated disk extends outwards from the bulge. The disk is oriented almost perfectly edge-on relative to our line of sight. The disk component shows some bluer color, suggesting the presence of younger stellar populations within the disk. There is no obvious evidence of active star formation in this image. The galaxy appears undisturbed, with no tidal features or signs of ongoing merger activity, although it is possible that there has been a minor disturbance in the past that has since settled down. The galaxy’s morphology is relatively smooth, and it appears to be a well-defined, isolated system within its local environment.
