The galaxy presents as a spiral, viewed at an oblique angle.  The central bulge appears prominent, with a yellowish-white hue suggesting an older stellar population. Two main spiral arms are discernible, and the overall winding of the arms seems relatively tight.  The disk component is significant, exhibiting a bluish tint indicative of ongoing star formation regions. The galaxy's shape is elongated, with the major axis significantly longer than the minor axis. There appear to be some minor disturbances in the outer regions, suggesting a possible minor interaction or past merger event. Dust lanes are subtly visible within the spiral arms.
