This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at an oblique angle, between face-on and edge-on. It exhibits a central bulge that is relatively bright and appears yellowish in color, which would suggest an older stellar population with less active star formation. Extending from the central bulge are what appear to be spiral arms. These arms are less clearly defined, appearing somewhat flocculent, and display a bluer color, indicative of ongoing star formation. The galaxy's shape is more elongated than circular, with a moderate cigar shape, although with a prominent central bulge. There is no apparent evidence of major ongoing mergers or strong tidal disturbances. The galaxy does have some subtle disturbances, but not so much that I would define it as major. Overall, this galaxy presents itself as a relatively undisturbed and mature spiral galaxy with a moderate amount of recent star formation occurring in its arms.
