The galaxy presents as a spiral type with a clear disk structure. The spiral arms are loosely wound. A bar structure appears present. A moderately sized bulge appears to be present. The overall color of the galaxy is a mix, appearing generally blue in the arm to the upper left and redder in the lower right. A major disturbance is apparent and the galaxy may be in the process of merging with another galaxy. There are strong indications of active star formation within the arms.
