The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at a slight angle relative to face-on. It exhibits well-defined spiral arms. The spiral arms appear tightly wound. There appears to be a moderate central bulge with a bright nucleus. A faint bar structure might be present, extending through the central region. No signs of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances are apparent, though the galaxy seems slightly asymmetrical. The galaxy appears to be actively forming stars within the spiral arms. The bluer light associated with star formation is more prominent in the spiral arms.
