The object is a spiral galaxy, observed at an inclination angle, not quite edge-on. There is a central bulge that has a yellow-white hue and seems to be mostly comprised of older stars. Fainter spiral arms extend outward from the central bulge. The arms have patches of blue, suggesting recent star formation regions. The disk exhibits a relatively thin profile. There are subtle signs of asymmetry in the spiral arm structure, possibly indicating minor gravitational interaction or internal dynamics. Based on the distribution of light, this spiral galaxy is likely a barred spiral. The bar is relatively diffuse but does span much of the central region. The bulge appears to be a moderate size relative to the rest of the galaxy.
