The galaxy exhibits a spiral structure, with tightly wound arms emanating from a relatively small, yet noticeable central bulge. The arms are well-defined, displaying significant star forming regions that appear as clumpy segments within the arms. These regions appear blue, suggesting the presence of young, hot stars. The dust lanes within the spiral arms are somewhat indistinct. The central bulge is a concentrated region of light, appearing yellowish-white in color. It is difficult to determine the presence of a bar structure, though there is some elongation of the central region. The overall disk of the galaxy is not perfectly symmetric, showing slight distortions in the outer arms, suggesting potential interactions or internal disturbances. No obvious signs of a major merger are apparent, though minor disturbances may be present in the spiral arm structure. The galaxy is viewed at an angle, as we are not directly edge on. The pitch angle of the spiral arms is relatively shallow, contributing to their tightly wound appearance.
