The observed galaxy presents a distinct spiral structure. Arms are tightly wound around a prominent central bulge, which emits a yellowish light, suggesting a population of older stars. The spiral arms are characterized by a bluer hue, indicative of ongoing star formation. A moderate amount of dust is present, which is obscuring some sections of the spiral arms. The general appearance is of a relatively massive galaxy undergoing active star formation within its spiral arms. Evidences of a weak bar can be seen in the central region of the galaxy. The galaxy shows signs of a minor disturbance; it is difficult to see if it is a merger but there are some irregularities within its spiral structure.
