The galaxy presents a morphology that is neither purely elliptical nor spiral, but features characteristics of both, indicating it could possibly be a lenticular galaxy. The central bulge exhibits a smooth, amorphous quality with a dominant concentration of light, suggesting a high density of older stars. Fainter arms extend outward from the center, indicating a disk-like component. However, these arms lack the well-defined, tightly wound structure of classic spiral galaxies. The irregular distribution of luminosity within the arms suggests ongoing gravitational interactions or disturbances. The galaxy's overall color leans towards blue, signifying the presence of active star formation regions, though regions with an older stellar population appear present as well. Subtle asymmetries hint at a possible past or ongoing merger event.
