Edge-on Galaxies

Edge-On Galaxies is a morphological classification of disk galaxies distinguished by their observational orientation where the line of sight is nearly perpendicular to the galaxy's rotational axis, resulting in a highly inclined appearance that accentuates structural features such as dust lanes and vertical light profiles.
