The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at an angle that suggests it might be a barred spiral. There is a prominent central bulge that is bright white fading to pale blue. The spiral arms are not as well-defined, with some areas appearing flocculent. Blue hues are more predominant throughout. The morphology shows some indications of disruption, possibly from a minor merger or tidal interaction, although the overall structure is maintained. The color suggests ongoing star formation, but not at a rapid rate. The galaxy is relatively compact, and its angular size on the sky implies a physical size characteristic of intermediate-sized galaxies.
