The galaxy exhibits a clear spiral structure. The arms are distinct, and appear to emanate from a central region exhibiting a relatively bright, concentrated light. The overall color of the galaxy is somewhat blue-ish, suggestive of ongoing star formation, with a hint of reddish color on the peripheries of the spiral arms and core, potentially indicating older stellar populations. A bar-like structure appears to traverse the central region, its presence contributing to the organized spiral arm pattern. The arms themselves seem tightly wound. The bulge appears moderate in size relative to the disk of the galaxy. There are indications of minor disturbances that could be suggestive of previous, or ongoing mergers.
