This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at a moderately oblique angle. There is a notable central bulge, which appears yellow-orange in color, suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter spiral arms extend outwards from the bulge; however, the spiral structure looks quite disturbed. This disruption could be due to gravitational interactions with another galaxy, although there is no obvious nearby galaxy that could be causing it. The spiral arms have a bluish tinge in parts, indicating regions of active star formation. The galaxy overall has a somewhat low surface brightness, and appears to be of an intermediate size for a galaxy of its type.
