The galaxy appears to be a relatively face-on spiral galaxy at a considerable distance, as indicated by its redshift. The central bulge is bright and yellowish-orange, suggesting an older stellar population. The spiral arms are not very well defined, appearing somewhat flocculent and patchy with subtle bluish regions, which could indicate areas of recent or ongoing star formation. Overall, the galaxy exhibits a moderate level of activity, with an estimated mass range in the higher end of the scale, and a moderate rate of star formation for a galaxy of its type and redshift. There are some minor signs of disturbance, although it is more likely a normal galaxy. The majority of observers classify the galaxy as "smooth" or "featured".
