The galaxy presents as a grand design spiral, viewed at an angle between face-on and inclined. A prominent, elongated central bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. A strong bar structure appears to bisect the bulge. Tightly wound spiral arms emanate from the ends of the bar. The arms display a mottled texture, indicative of star-forming regions. The overall color gradient suggests ongoing, but not exceptionally vigorous, star formation. Evidence suggests that the object is most likely a spiral galaxy that is undergoing a minor disturbance.
