The galaxy presents as a spiral type, viewed at a significant inclination relative to our line of sight, but not quite edge-on. Two spiral arms appear dominant, tracing outward from a central bulge. These arms exhibit a relatively well-defined structure, though somewhat flocculent. Evidence of active star formation is indicated by the presence of patchy regions displaying bluer colors concentrated within the spiral arms. The central bulge appears less prominent and exhibits a yellower hue suggesting an older stellar population. There does not appear to be any major merger events, although a minor disturbance cannot be ruled out.
