The galaxy appears to be a relatively bright, disk-shaped system, though the shape is somewhat irregular. The disk is oriented approximately edge-on, showing a flattened, elongated structure. There is a prominent central bulge that appears smooth and concentrated, with a bright, unresolved core suggesting a possible active galactic nucleus. Fainter dust lanes are visible that appear distorted, hinting that the system is not at equilibrium. There appear to be features of ongoing star formation in the disk, but likely at a low rate. It's overall color is primarily red in the disk with a blue hue throughout. This suggests a moderate redshift, placing the galaxy at a considerable distance. There are signs of a possible minor merger or tidal interaction with a very faint object, contributing to the galaxy's shape.
