Like all lenticular galaxies, NGC 7007 has a classical disk similar to most galaxies of its type, having a nearly spherical bulge. Unlike most galaxies of its type, the pattern of dust in NGC 7007 is not circular and continuous surrounding the bulge but shows breaks in its structure. These dust lanes also appear to form dusty spiral arms similar to the Sa galaxies NGC 2855, NGC 4984, and NGC 7377.[9][10]
In NGC 7007, there is a counter-rotating disk of ionized gas that counter-rotates with respect to the stars. This indicates an external origin of the gas such as accretion.[12]
