The galaxy exhibits a spiral morphology, with relatively tightly wound arms emanating from a central bulge. The bulge appears moderately sized. The arms are not particularly well-defined, showing a somewhat flocculent structure with regions of active star formation, indicated by the blue-ish hues, especially along the arms. The galaxy is seen at an angle to our line of sight, appearing elongated; it is not quite edge-on, but significantly tilted. The overall color is a mix of blue and yellow.
