The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, observed at an angle that is not quite edge-on, but also not quite face-on. The central region is a bright, somewhat elongated bulge. Faint spiral arms extend from the bulge, and there is evidence of dust lanes interspersed throughout the arms. The spiral arms are clumpy, suggesting regions of active star formation. The color is predominantly blue, indicating a population of young, hot stars. The galaxy exhibits a slight disturbance in its morphology, potentially suggesting a past or ongoing minor interaction. A faint bar structure is visible in the center of the galaxy.
