The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at an angle somewhere between face-on and moderately inclined. There is a discernable spiral arm structure, with arms that appear relatively open. The galaxy exhibits a moderate-sized central bulge, and does not possess a bar. The color gradients within the galaxy suggest ongoing star formation, particularly within the spiral arms. The arms appear somewhat patchy, indicative of clumpy regions of star formation. Overall the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no major signs of recent or ongoing merging activity. The blue colors dominant throughout the disk is a possible signature of an active phase of star formation.
