This galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy with a prominent, centrally located bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellowish hue. The spiral arms are relatively tightly wound. They appear somewhat fragmented, with regions of enhanced brightness suggesting localized star formation. These regions display a bluer color, indicative of younger stellar populations. The overall disk is viewed at an angle, and appears to be somewhat asymmetrical, with a higher surface brightness on one side of the galaxy than the other. There is some evidence of dust lanes within the spiral arms.
