This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, observed face-on, exhibiting a defined disk structure. The spiral arms are tightly wound and are relatively numerous and difficult to individually distinguish, giving a somewhat flocculent appearance. The central bulge is small and has a moderate presence relative to the disk. It shows a yellowish hue indicating an older stellar population. The spiral arms show bluer tints, suggestive of ongoing star formation. There is no evidence of a strong bar structure in the central region of the galaxy. No significant tidal tails or other obvious signs of major recent merger activity are immediately apparent, though there appear to be minor disturbances throughout.
