The galaxy exhibits a generally elliptical morphology with a bright, concentrated central bulge. A distinct disk component is also visible, though it is not perfectly edge-on. There is evidence of spiral arm structure, albeit somewhat ill-defined. The bulge appears to be moderately sized relative to the disk. The galaxy appears to have experienced some disturbance, possibly a minor interaction or merger event in its past. The overall color suggests a mix of stellar populations, with the bulge leaning towards older, redder stars, while the disk shows bluer regions indicative of ongoing star formation. Dust lanes are present, obscuring some portions of the disk and contributing to the mottled appearance. The galaxy is relatively close, with a redshift value that indicates its light has only been stretched slightly. It contains a considerable amount of neutral hydrogen.
