The galaxy presents a distinct spiral structure, with arms that appear somewhat tightly wound around a central bulge. The bulge exhibits a moderate size relative to the overall galaxy. The presence of a bar-like structure cutting across the bulge is suspected, with a moderate strength, and a significant disk component extending beyond the central bulge. The color profile suggests a mix of stellar populations, the bulge appears to be populated by older stars, and the spiral arms show regions of blue, indicating ongoing star formation. The galaxy does not show obvious signs of major interactions or disturbances from any recent mergers, although subtle irregularities in the outer disk might suggest minor disturbances, such as from an accreting dwarf galaxy. The galaxy is viewed at an angle which indicates that we are viewing it nearly face on.
