The galaxy presents as an elongated, somewhat cigar-shaped structure. It exhibits a relatively smooth overall appearance, with a central, brighter region that appears to be the galactic bulge or core. The light is primarily bluish, suggesting ongoing or recent star formation, particularly in the outer regions, though the color may also be due to redshift. There appears to be a lack of strong spiral arm structure, though the blurring in the image makes it difficult to confirm with certainty. The structure appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of a major merger, though there may be some minor disturbances. It looks to be a late stage spiral galaxy or even an elliptical.
