The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at an oblique angle relative to its plane. The central bulge is bright and yellowish, suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter, bluer spiral arms extend from the bulge, indicating ongoing star formation. These arms appear somewhat patchy and not well-defined, giving the galaxy a slightly irregular appearance. There is some evidence of a dust lane on the near side of the bulge. The overall color suggests a moderately high redshift. There is a slight chance of a minor disturbance to the galaxy, perhaps a faint tidal feature.
