The galaxy presents a somewhat disturbed morphology, suggestive of a recent or ongoing interaction. It exhibits a disk-like structure, viewed at an oblique angle, but not precisely edge-on. A pronounced central bulge is apparent, exhibiting a yellowish hue. Emanating from the bulge are diffuse spiral arms, with asymmetrical light distribution. One side of the galaxy displays a distinct, blueish region, which could suggest active star formation. There is also evidence of tidal features, or disruptions to the morphology of the galaxy, pointing to gravitational interactions with another object. These features might be indicative of a merger event in progress, or a recent close pass with another galaxy. The overall color profile of the galaxy suggests a mix of stellar populations, with older, redder stars concentrated in the bulge, and younger, bluer stars populating the disk and star-forming regions.
