The galaxy presents a complex morphology. It appears somewhat elongated, exhibiting an overall cigar shape. The galaxy's light is dominated by a smooth, diffuse component, suggesting a significant population of older stars. However, there are regions of bluer light, particularly concentrated in one area. These suggest ongoing or recent star formation. There is some indication of possible minor tidal disturbances or interactions with smaller companions. The overall color suggests a mix of stellar populations, with older, redder stars dominating, but with evidence of younger, bluer stars contributing to the galaxy's luminosity. The galaxy appears relatively massive, with a high star formation rate.
