The galaxy appears to be a relatively bright, elongated spiral galaxy. It displays a prominent central bulge that appears to be yellowish in color, indicating an older stellar population. The spiral arms are somewhat tightly wound and not clearly defined in the image, suggesting that the galaxy is likely an intermediate type spiral. There is some indication of dust lanes within the spiral arms, but the resolution is insufficient to resolve them clearly. Overall, the galaxy seems relatively undisturbed, showing no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal interactions. The color suggests ongoing, albeit moderate, star formation activity.
