The galaxy exhibits a distinct spiral structure. The arms are tightly wound around a central bulge, and the winding tightness suggests a potentially older stellar population, though there appears to be plenty of dust and gas present as well. The central bulge appears relatively small compared to the overall disk size, and there is no apparent bar structure traversing the core. It appears to have more than four spiral arms extending outwards and they exhibit a blue color, indicating active star formation. Some portions of the disk appear irregular, with noticeable disturbances in the spiral arm structure, indicating minor tidal interactions. There may be a merging event occurring.
