The galaxy appears to be a spiral, observed at a significantly oblique angle relative to its galactic plane. This near edge-on orientation complicates a detailed assessment of its spiral structure.

A prominent central bulge dominates the galaxy's core, appearing bright and relatively smooth. A faint bar-like structure seems to bisect the bulge along the major axis of the galaxy. From the galaxy's bulge extends a broad, relatively well-defined disk. Two major spiral arms are visible, trailing away on either side of the central bulge. The arms display areas of active star formation. It appears that the galaxy is undergoing a significant interaction or disturbance, as evidenced by some asymmetry and slight tidal distortion.
