The galaxy presents as a spiral type, observed at a significant angle from edge-on, but not quite face on. Two prominent spiral arms can be identified emanating from a central bulge. The winding of the spiral arms appears to be of medium tightness. A strong bar structure is present within the central bulge. The bulge itself appears to be of moderate size relative to the overall galaxy disc. The galaxy disk shows features, it is not particularly smooth. No major signs of galaxy mergers or significant tidal disturbances are readily apparent in this image, although minor interactions cannot be ruled out. The central region is somewhat brighter and yellower, while the spiral arms exhibit bluer regions suggestive of ongoing star formation.
