The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy, observed at a near-edge-on angle relative to our line of sight. There appears to be a central bulge with a higher concentration of older stars, indicated by a yellowish hue. Faintly observed spiral arms extend outward on either side of the bulge. The outer disk exhibits a bluer color, suggestive of more recent star formation. Patches of brighter, localized star formation regions are scattered throughout the disk, and it is possible that there is tidal disruption occuring from a merging event. The overall morphology suggests a relatively undisturbed system. The observed elongation of the galaxy indicates that the estimated physical size is greater than what is implied by its apparent size. There may be some interaction with a smaller companion galaxy which is disturbing its structure.
