The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at a slight angle. The spiral arms are clearly visible, with a relatively loose winding pattern. There appear to be two dominant spiral arms, and a general lack of well defined structure. The galaxy's disk has a mottled appearance, which could be due to differing populations of stars or perhaps the presence of dust lanes. There is a noticeable central bulge, though it does not appear to be particularly dominant, and no obvious bar structure is visible, although this is hard to verify due to image quality. The overall color of the galaxy suggests a relatively high rate of star formation. There is evidence of minor disturbances within the disk, possibly indicative of a past or ongoing minor merger event.
