The galaxy presents as a spiral type, exhibiting a prominent central bulge with a bright, concentrated core region, indicative of a likely supermassive black hole. Two spiral arms originate from the central bulge, extending outward in a loosely wound fashion. The arms appear somewhat flocculent in structure, with patches of bluish light suggesting ongoing star formation. The overall color gradient shifts from yellowish in the central bulge to bluer in the outer spiral arms, consistent with a stellar population gradient where older, redder stars are concentrated in the bulge and younger, bluer stars populate the arms. There appears to be some asymmetry or possible tidal disturbance in one of the spiral arms, potentially suggesting past or ongoing interaction with a smaller companion galaxy. However, it is likely it is just a region of heightened star formation. Dust lanes appear visible within the spiral arms, particularly on the near side of the galaxy, obscuring some of the starlight. The galaxy displays a moderate inclination with respect to the line of sight.
