The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy exhibiting a fairly well-defined disk structure. The spiral arms are tightly wound around a central bulge, with some indication of flocculent arm structure. The bulge appears moderately bright and accounts for a notable fraction of the galaxy's light, fading in luminosity as it gets to the edges of the galaxy. The disk is observed nearly face-on. Patches of star formation are present within the spiral arms, implied by their bluer hue. There may be a bar-like structure in the center. No significant signs of ongoing major merger activity are immediately apparent.
