The galaxy presents as a spiral type, exhibiting well-defined arms that are wound moderately tight around a central bulge. The bulge appears prominent, occupying a significant portion of the galaxy's overall light. Dust lanes are visible, particularly within the spiral arms, contributing to a mottled texture. The galaxy displays a blueish hue in the outer regions, suggestive of ongoing star formation, while the central bulge exhibits a yellowish colour, which usually indicates an older stellar population. The overall shape is slightly elongated. There are also several bright spots within the arms of the galaxy that are most likely regions of intense star formation.
