The galaxy appears to be an intermediate spiral, showing characteristics of both smooth elliptical galaxies and more structured spiral types. The central bulge region is relatively prominent and exhibits a smooth, diffuse light profile, likely composed of older stellar populations. Extending outwards from the bulge, there is faint suggestion of spiral arm structure, though they appear somewhat disrupted and not well-defined. The overall color of the galaxy is noticeably blueish, suggesting ongoing star formation activity, particularly in the less defined spiral arms. Some signs of a potential tidal disturbance or interaction are hinted at by the irregular shapes on the edges, suggesting a possible past or ongoing merger event. The general shape of the galaxy is somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. Areas of significant disturbance are present.
