The galaxy presents a prominent, disk-like structure, exhibiting distinct spiral arms. These arms appear to be tightly wound across a majority of the galactic disk. A central bulge is apparent, but appears relatively small in comparison to the disk. A strong bar feature appears to transect the bulge. The galactic disk shows signs of disturbance. The arms and disk are not obviously symmetrical, potentially indicative of ongoing gravitational interactions. The general color is slightly blue, especially in the spiral arms, with some areas appearing white.
