The galaxy presents as a face-on spiral with a moderately sized bulge. Faint, somewhat disrupted spiral arms are discernible extending from the central bulge into the galactic disk. The arms exhibit a slightly clumpy morphology. The overall color of the central bulge leans towards yellow, suggesting a population of older stars. Blue hues are visible within the spiral arms, possibly indicating regions of active star formation. Some tidal distortion is visible. It is possible that a merger is currently in progress, or has occurred in the recent past.
