This week I was looking at the the APOD labeled "NGC 4762: A Galaxy On the Edge" The line on this picture is actually the edge of a disk galaxy. This picture was a perfect photo to show how thin some galaxies are and how they may be hard to classify. Many other Galaxies can be seen in this picture as well. Also the Milky Way Galaxy is though to be as thin as this galaxy. Even though it appears to be thin this galaxy is about 100,000 light years in diameter.
