This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed edge-on. There is a bright central bulge that is slightly yellow, perhaps indicating an older stellar population. A faint, elongated disk extends outwards from the bulge. This disk shows some patchy areas with bluer colors which could be the presence of younger, hotter stars. The shape of the galaxy is elongated and thin, suggesting that we are viewing it at a high inclination. There does not appear to be any obvious signs of tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers in this image.
