This galaxy presents as a grand design spiral, exhibiting a clear, two-armed structure. A prominent, tightly wound bar spans across the central bulge, suggesting a high degree of dynamical activity. The bulge itself appears of moderate size, transitioning smoothly into the disk. The spiral arms are relatively tightly wound, with some areas exhibiting a more medium winding. Color gradients are visible throughout the galaxy, with a yellowish-white core and bluer hues dominating the spiral arms, indicative of ongoing star formation. There's a slight suggestion of minor disturbance in the spiral arms, but overall the galaxy appears largely undisturbed. No clear signs of a major merger or significant interaction are apparent. The galaxy presents face-on to our line of sight.
