The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at an angle. The central bulge is bright and somewhat smooth in appearance. There appears to be a disk component visible, extending outward from the bulge. The disk has a mottled texture, showing slight evidence of spiral arm structure. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, with the central bulge appearing more yellow, and the outer disk showing a bluer hue. This suggests that the stellar populations in the bulge are older. The bluer color of the disk indicates the presence of younger, hotter stars, hinting at some ongoing, but perhaps declining, star formation activity. There is no obvious evidence of a major ongoing merger, although there may be a slight asymmetry or disturbance in the disk shape.
