This galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated structure, possibly a disk galaxy viewed at a significant inclination. The central region exhibits a yellowish or reddish hue, suggesting an older stellar population, potentially an elliptical-like bulge, or significant dust obscuration. This galaxy is likely quite massive. The outer regions of the galaxy fade into a bluish haze, suggestive of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. The structure is not perfectly smooth; there is some evidence of disturbance, possibly from a minor interaction or merger event, though such events are not dominant features in this image. Overall, this galaxy appears to be moderately evolved, showing characteristics of both an earlier and later-type system.
