The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at an angle intermediate between face-on and edge-on. A central bulge is present, though it does not dominate the galactic structure. Spiral arms are visible and appear somewhat tightly wound. There is no obvious sign of a bar structure bisecting the bulge. The galaxy's overall color is slightly blue-shifted, suggesting ongoing star formation. There are indications of some disturbances in the disk, possibly related to tidal interactions or minor mergers, but the galaxy is not undergoing a major merging event.
