The object appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. The galaxy exhibits a prominent, extended disk that is oriented nearly perpendicular to our line of sight. A bulge is evident in the center of the disk, and it seems to have a rounded shape. There is a concentration of light in the central region that diminishes towards the edge of the galaxy. The edges of the disk are much fainter and appear blue. No obvious major merging events or strong tidal disturbances are apparent in this image, though there may be minor disturbances.
