The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, exhibiting well-defined spiral arms. The arms seem tightly wound, swirling around a prominent central bulge. The bulge constitutes a significant portion of the galaxy's overall luminosity. The disk is fairly inclined relative to our line of sight, though it is not seen perfectly edge on. Patches of bluer light are observed along the spiral arms, suggesting regions of active star formation. There appears to be a relatively weak or absent bar structure. The overall color of the galaxy appears moderately red, indicating a mixed population of stars.
