This galaxy presents as a spiral type, with a disk structure that is oriented somewhat face-on relative to our line of sight. The spiral arms are tightly wound and well-defined, exhibiting a somewhat flocculent nature. These arms show a bluish tinge, indicative of active star formation regions containing hot, young stars. The central bulge is relatively small in comparison to the disk, suggesting a later-type spiral classification. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, showing no strong evidence of recent major merger activity, though there may be minor asymmetric features within the spiral arm structure. There are subtle variations in surface brightness throughout the disk, potentially indicating varying stellar densities and dust lane presence. The overall color is dominated by the blue of the spiral arms with a gradual shift towards redder hues in the central bulge, a signature consistent with older stellar populations. The image suggests an active star-forming galaxy with a classic spiral morphology.
