This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at a high inclination. It exhibits a prominent, elongated central bulge with a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk component is visible, although distorted, revealing a diffuse blue tint indicative of ongoing star formation. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger, although there may be evidence of minor tidal disturbances or interactions. The shape of the galaxy is highly elongated, resembling a cigar, indicating a lack of rotational symmetry. Overall, this galaxy presents characteristics of a moderately massive system, possibly a transition between a spiral and lenticular type.
