This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy with a moderately sized bulge. There is the suggestion of a bar structure within the central region. Distinct spiral arms are visible and appear somewhat tightly wound. The galaxy displays a gradient in color, with a yellow/white central region and bluer hues in the outer arms, indicating ongoing star formation. There does not appear to be any major merging activity, although there may be some minor disturbance. The galaxy is viewed at an angle, being slightly tilted and not completely edge-on.
