The galaxy presents as a spiral, with a moderately sized bulge. The arms are clearly defined, with a noticeable presence of star-forming regions, indicated by a bluer hue scattered throughout the spiral arms. These regions suggest active star formation. The arms are grand design type. There is no clear indication of a strong bar structure. A companion galaxy is merging with the spiral galaxy, located on its right side. The spiral disk shows a fairly high inclination. The overall color suggests a mixed population of stars, with both younger, bluer stars in the spiral arms and older, redder stars in the bulge. There appears to be no major disturbance to the galaxy's morphology, although a merger is taking place.
