This galaxy presents a clear spiral structure, with tightly wound arms emanating from a bright, moderately sized central bulge. The spiral arms appear somewhat flocculent. They are mostly seen at high inclinations relative to our line of sight, though some of the disk is visible. The arms display a bluish tint, suggesting the presence of relatively young, hot stars, and consequently, regions of active star formation. No evidence of a strong bar structure is immediately apparent, though a weak bar cannot be ruled out. There might be signs of some slight disturbances in the disk, potentially indicating past or ongoing minor interactions or mergers, but it is unlikely to be from a merger with a galaxy that has a comparable mass.
