The galaxy presents as a spiral type, exhibiting a prominent, moderately sized bulge in the center that appears yellowish-white. Two spiral arms are wound around the bulge, one upper and one lower. The arms appear somewhat tightly wound close to the bulge, but then fan out and are of medium winding further out. Patches of bluer light are seen in the arms, potentially indicating regions of star formation. Overall, the spiral structure is well-defined. The galaxy does not appear to be strongly edge-on, nor does it show any major signs of disturbance or a major merger. The overall color gradient suggests a normal spiral galaxy with ongoing star formation in the arms and an older stellar population in the bulge.
