The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy, viewed at a slight angle relative to face-on. The central bulge is prominent and exhibits a bright, yellowish-white hue, indicating a population of older stars. Surrounding the bulge are spiral arms, which appear tightly wound, creating a somewhat flocculent appearance. The arms are bluer in color, suggesting ongoing star formation. The dust lanes throughout the spiral arms are subtle but visible. There appears to be a lack of major morphological disturbances, although there is some asymmetry in the outer arms. The galaxy has no signs of a prominent bar structure. The overall morphology is one of a classic spiral galaxy with a significant bulge and relatively well-defined spiral arms.
