The galaxy presents as a somewhat disturbed system. There is evidence of tidal features or merging activity. A more compact, somewhat spheroidal component is visible in the central region, surrounded by a fainter, more diffuse halo or disk-like structure. Within the halo, there appear to be several distinct, clumpy regions of star formation or enhanced luminosity, giving it an irregular appearance. A faint bluish color in parts of the outer disk may indicate regions of younger stars. There may be a second galaxy located close to it with a similar red shift.
