This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at an angle that is neither face-on nor edge-on. A slight bulge is visible at the center in a yellowish-white hue, indicating a population of older stars. The disk of the galaxy appears relatively smooth and somewhat elliptical. It is largely bluish in color, with subtle mottling suggesting areas of active star formation. The galaxy seems to be relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal features. The spiral arms appear tightly wound around the central bulge. This galaxy exhibits a luminosity typical of galaxies of its type and distance.
