  That's a spiral galaxy view edge-on. This particular one has another nearby (in a line-of-sight sense; it may actually be very far away), making this an #overlap.

  Believe it or not, there's actually a Flat Galaxy Catalog! 😮 And there's a whole thread devoted to it, over in the GZ forum (here).
