The galaxy presents a relatively small angular size in this image. It appears to be a spiral galaxy, likely viewed at a moderate inclination. Evidence of disk structure is subtle, but visible, as well as loose spiral arm structure. There may be minor dust lanes visible. The galaxy's light is fairly blue in color, with a bright center or bulge, suggesting active star formation. The morphology suggests a possible recent or ongoing merger event, as it has some light irregularities, but the overall shape is largely undisturbed.
