The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at a slight angle, nearly face-on. A central bulge is present, exhibiting a concentrated brightness with a yellow-white color. Faint, somewhat tightly wound spiral arms extend outwards from the central bulge. The arms are traced by regions of bluish light, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars within areas of active star formation. The disk of the galaxy appears relatively smooth. It appears to have an overall disk-like structure with a slight ellipticity. The disk has a soft blue hue. There are possibly only minor disturbances from interactions with other objects.
