El polvo alrededor de la galaxia apareció con una textura grumosa, sugiriendo áreas de formación estelar. Además, se identificaron hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos, comunes en zonas de formación de estrellas.

Aunque la galaxia muestra signos de formación estelar, su tasa es baja comparada con otras galaxias como Messier 82, que tiene una formación de estrellas mucho más activa.

La galaxia alberga alrededor de 2.000 cúmulos globulares, sistemas densos de estrellas antiguas, que ofrecen valiosa información para estudiar la evolución estelar.

En 2025, el telescopio James Webb comenzará su cuarto año de operaciones científicas, con una creciente demanda de observaciones para estudiar galaxias distantes, exoplanetas y estrellas.
