The galaxy exhibits a complex morphology, appearing as a possible merging system of two distinct, luminous components. The primary component appears roughly circular, with a diffuse, somewhat smooth light distribution. The second, smaller component sits slightly above the primary one. There is a hint of tidal disturbance or interaction between the two galaxies with possibly disrupted regions or faint extensions indicating gravitational interaction. The overall color of the primary component appears yellowish-white, suggestive of a mix of stellar populations. However, a small section contains light that has a slightly blue tint. The secondary component is bluer, perhaps hinting that it is closer to us than the primary. The interaction may be inducing star formation. The galaxy does not appear to be a classic spiral or elliptical galaxy.
