The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, exhibiting a relatively bright central bulge. The bulge is somewhat obscured by what may be dust lanes. The spiral arms are somewhat tightly wound and somewhat flocculent. The spiral structure is apparent, and it is difficult to discern a precise arm count due to the granularity of the image, with suggestions of at least three or four arms originating from the core. There are also some indications of a bar-like structure, that is, the bulge appears a bit elongated. The color suggests ongoing star formation, most evident in the arm structures, especially at the outer reaches. The galaxy does not exhibit any significant signs of recent major merger activity, though some minor disturbances could be present. The orientation is nearly face-on.
