The galaxy presents as an elongated, somewhat cigar-shaped object. There appears to be a relatively smooth central bulge region, possibly surrounded by a flattened disk component. The galaxy exhibits a predominantly blue color, indicating a notable population of young, hot stars. There are hints of structural disturbances or asymmetries within the disk, perhaps due to minor gravitational interactions. Possible mergers could also be the cause of the disturbances in the disk. The galaxy exhibits a moderately low rate of star formation, with a relatively smooth and undisturbed appearance.
