The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, observed at a slight angle relative to face-on. The central bulge is prominent, displaying a bright, concentrated luminosity gradient. The spiral arms exhibit a flocculent structure, with varying degrees of definition and pitch angle; some arms are tightly wound, while others are more open. Traces of dust lanes are visible within the spiral arms, though not sharply defined. The overall color suggests ongoing star formation, particularly in the spiral arms, though the exact rate of star formation is difficult to ascertain without spectroscopic data. There are subtle indications of minor disturbances in the galaxy's structure, possibly suggestive of past or ongoing interactions, although no major merging activity is evident in this image.
