This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy with a prominent bulge. The bulge exhibits a smooth, yellowish hue, indicative of an older stellar population likely dominated by evolved stars. Faint, somewhat diffuse spiral arms extend from the bulge, exhibiting a bluer color. These spiral arms appear patchy in structure, suggestive of active, ongoing star formation regions. Dust lanes are difficult to discern. The galaxy presents a primarily face-on orientation. There appears to be a very faint, smooth halo surrounding the galaxy. Based on the smooth appearance of the central region and fainter spiral arms, this galaxy is most likely transitioning from a spiral galaxy into a lenticular galaxy.
