The galaxy presents as a spiral system, observed at an oblique angle. A prominent central bulge exhibits a yellowish-white hue, indicative of an older stellar population. Fainter spiral arms extend outwards from the bulge, displaying a bluer tint, suggesting regions of ongoing star formation. These arms are not sharply defined, appearing somewhat flocculent. Dust lanes are subtly visible within the disk, particularly along the near side of the bulge, obscuring some of the light from behind. The overall shape of the galaxy is elongated, with the major axis substantially greater than the minor axis, consistent with an inclined disk. No major disturbances are evident, implying a relatively undisturbed evolutionary history.
