The galaxy presents as a spiral with a relatively bright, prominent bulge. A disk is clearly visible, exhibiting a tilted orientation relative to our line of sight. Spiral arms are prominent, wound relatively tightly around the galactic center. There is evidence of several spiral arms emanating from the central bulge, appearing somewhat symmetrical. The galactic center exhibits a yellow-white color indicative of an older stellar population. The spiral arms show regions of blue-white coloration, suggesting active star formation. Dust lanes are faintly visible within the disk. The outer regions of the galaxy show a diffuse halo. There are signs of minor disturbances in the disk of the galaxy.
