The galaxy exhibits a disturbed morphology, potentially indicative of an ongoing or recent interaction. A prominent feature is its elongated, cigar-like shape with a noticeable tidal tail extending from the main body, suggesting gravitational disturbance. There are multiple luminous regions, including a more compact, brighter core that could represent the galactic nucleus. The galaxy's color profile shows a variation, with a tendency toward redder hues in the main body, possibly indicating an older stellar population, with slightly blue areas. The galaxy may be undergoing a period of active star formation.
