The galaxy presents as a somewhat face-on spiral galaxy, exhibiting prominent spiral arm structure. The arms are grand design, extending from a central bulge and appear fairly well-defined. The galactic bulge appears moderate in size, displaying a reddish hue indicating an older stellar population. The spiral arms exhibit a bluer color, suggestive of ongoing star formation and the presence of younger, hotter stars. There is evidence of a weak bar structure that runs through the center of the galaxy. Some minor disturbances in the spiral arm structure may point towards potential interactions with smaller galaxies, though no major merging event appears to be in progress.
