The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, significantly inclined relative to our line of sight. This orientation makes it difficult to discern detailed spiral structure, although a subtle asymmetry in the outer regions hints at possible irregularities. A bright, concentrated central bulge is apparent, exhibiting a yellowish hue. The disk itself shows a bluer color, particularly at its edges, suggesting the presence of younger stellar populations. The galaxy appears to be experiencing some form of interaction or disturbance, given the asymmetries and what looks to be diffuse outer regions. There might be some minor morphological disturbances, possibly indicative of tidal forces or a recent merger event. The dust lanes are very subtle. The overall impression is that of a luminous galaxy with ongoing star formation in its outer regions, and a significant bulge possibly harboring an older stellar population.
