This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, observed at an angle that is somewhere between edge-on and face-on, closer to edge-on. A bulge is seen that is bright and yellowish-white in color, indicating an older stellar population. The disk surrounding the bulge shows a bluish tint, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars, and therefore regions of star formation. There is some evidence of spiral arms, but they are not well-defined; they seem somewhat patchy and loosely wound. There is a hint of dust lanes within the disk, obscuring some of the light from the stars behind them. The galaxy does not display any signs of major interaction or tidal disturbances, and it appears as a relatively isolated system. Overall, the galaxy has a moderate luminosity.
