This galaxy presents a classic spiral structure, exhibiting prominent, well-defined spiral arms emanating from a bright central bulge. The arms appear relatively tightly wound, and they are populated with numerous regions of active star formation, indicated by their bluish color. These regions are interspersed with dust lanes, which absorb and scatter light, giving the arms a somewhat patchy appearance. The central bulge is luminous and appears to be relatively smooth, suggesting a population of older stars. There appears to be a possible bar-like feature running through the central region. The galaxy is observed nearly face-on, allowing for a clear view of its spiral morphology.
