UGC 7321 is an edge-on low surface brightness (LSB) spiral galaxy with a number of extraordinary properties. Its vertical scale height (~70 pc) is one of the smallest ever measured for a galaxy disk. Its disk also exhibits strong vertical and radial color gradients. UGC 7321 appears to be an extremely unevolved galaxy in both a dynamical and in a star-formation sense.
