The galaxy appears to be a spiral, observed at a significant inclination relative to our line of sight. Spiral arms are visible, though somewhat diffuse. The arms are not tightly wound. There is evidence of recent star formation occurring within these arms, which is causing them to appear blue. A bulge is present at the center of the galaxy. The galaxy has a relatively smooth overall profile, but there is a degree of asymmetry, possibly indicating minor tidal interactions or past mergers. The ellipticity of the galaxy is moderate. It has a redshift of z ≈ 0.021, consistent with relatively nearby galaxies in the local universe. There are signs that this galaxy has a bar feature.
