The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy, viewed at an oblique angle. The disk is clearly visible, and the dust lanes are observed to be fairly prominent. The galaxy does have spiral arms which are wrapped tightly around the galaxy. There may be some disturbances in the arms, though this is difficult to tell. The bulge does not dominate the galaxy, and appears to be of moderate size. The color indicates that it is a younger galaxy, and star formation is present. It is not experiencing a major merger.
