The galaxy exhibits a prominent spiral structure. Tightly wound arms emanate from a central region characterized by a moderate bulge. The arms display a color gradient, with bluer hues suggestive of active star formation interspersed with regions of redder dust and older stellar populations. A possible weak bar structure may be present in the galactic nucleus. There are no signs of any major merger, but the structure may show a few signs of a minor disturbance. Overall the galaxy presents as a fairly face on view of a spiral galaxy with many arms.
