The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at a slight angle. The central bulge is prominent and exhibits a smooth, relatively featureless profile with a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Faint, diffuse spiral arms extend outwards from the bulge, with hints of blue indicating regions of recent star formation. The overall structure suggests a galaxy that is predominantly smooth in appearance, with a possible minor disturbance, based on some irregularities in the outer regions. The galaxy is moderately luminous and its shape is not perfectly round, tending toward an elliptical appearance, but neither cigar shaped nor completely round.
