The galaxy presents as a somewhat face-on spiral, exhibiting a central bulge that appears relatively small in proportion to the overall disk.  Diffuse spiral arms emanate from the core, which appear tightly wound.  Color variations are subtle. The core is somewhat white or bright yellow, the spiral arms present with a bluish tinge, suggesting the presence of younger stellar populations.  Overall, the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major mergers.
