The galaxy presents a well-defined spiral structure. The central bulge appears bright and relatively smooth, with a yellow-white hue, suggesting a population of older stars. Two distinct spiral arms emanate from the bulge and appear well-defined, but exhibit an assymetrical formation. The arms are bluer in color, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and active star formation regions. The galaxy exhibits a slight dust lane within its arms, contributing to a mottled appearance. The overall shape of the galaxy appears slightly elongated, not perfectly circular. There is a distinct tidal tail or streamer extending from one side of the galaxy.
