The galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy, possibly of type Sa or Sb, seen at an oblique angle. The central bulge appears bright and somewhat diffuse with a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter spiral arms extend from the bulge, and the galaxy exhibits a disk-like structure. The disk shows some evidence of dust lanes but has relatively low surface brightness overall. Star formation activity, judging by the blue color, appears moderate across the galactic disk, although localized regions seem slightly more active. There is some evidence that a minor disturbance, or perhaps a smaller galactic companion nearby, may have impacted the galaxy's structure.
