The galaxy presents a clearly defined spiral structure. Two main spiral arms emanate from a moderately sized central bulge. These arms are somewhat tightly wound around the nucleus and display a mix of smoothly distributed light and clumpy regions indicative of active star formation. The bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, likely reflecting an older stellar population, while the spiral arms are bluer, suggestive of younger, hotter stars. The galaxy is not seen completely face-on, but rather at a slight inclination, giving it an elliptical appearance. There is a possible slight warp or asymmetry in one of the arms. No signs of a major ongoing merger are apparent, however, there appears to be a minor disturbance to the system.
