The galaxy presents a slightly elongated, disk-like morphology when viewed from our perspective. A diffuse, relatively smooth halo surrounds the central disk, although some minor irregularities or disturbances are visually present. A ring of blue light surrounds the main disk of the galaxy. The main body of the galaxy demonstrates a color gradient from a more bluish hue at the periphery to a more reddish/yellowish central region. This suggests differential stellar populations, with younger, hotter stars dominating the outer regions and older, cooler stars concentrated in the center. Indications of a potential merging event or tidal interaction may be indicated by some irregularity or deformation. These signs are not readily apparent, but the slightly amorphous nature indicates the possibility of ongoing gravitational interaction with another galaxy.
