This galaxy presents as a spiral, inclined at a substantial angle to our line of sight. The central bulge is small, and its contribution to the overall luminosity of the galaxy appears limited, indicating it's either smaller or less dense than the disk component. Two prominent spiral arms emanate from the central region. These arms display a fairly open winding pattern, suggesting ongoing star formation. There are subtle indications of a bar-like structure in the core of the galaxy. The lack of clearly defined dust lanes within the spiral arms suggests a relatively low gas and dust content. The overall blue color, particularly prominent in the outer regions of the arms, is indicative of the presence of young, hot stars, supporting the hypothesis of recent or ongoing star formation. There's no immediately apparent evidence of major merger activity or significant tidal disturbances, though some minor asymmetry could point to past interactions.
