This galaxy presents as a spiral type, viewed at a slight angle, with spiral arms clearly visible. The arms appear somewhat flocculent rather than grand design, displaying a patchy distribution of star formation regions. These regions are characterized by a bluish hue, indicative of younger, hotter stars. The central bulge is prominent, exhibiting a yellowish-orange color, suggesting an older stellar population. The bulge dominates the central region of the galaxy. There's a hint of a bar-like structure in the very center, although it's not particularly strong. The overall color gradient moves from a bluer disk to a yellower bulge. There appears to be a moderate amount of dust extinction visible in some of the spiral arms, giving them a slightly mottled appearance. There are no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger event, although there are some minor irregularities in the outer disk, which may be indicative of a past interaction.
