This galaxy presents a clear spiral structure, viewed at an angle that allows for distinct observation of the spiral arms. The arms themselves are well-defined, tracing a relatively open pattern as they emanate from the central bulge. The central bulge exhibits a moderate size relative to the overall disk and displays a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. The spiral arms show a bluer coloration, indicative of ongoing star formation. Evidence suggests there is a very obvious bar structure through the center of the galaxy and spanning the bulge, and is also a site of active star formation. 

The dust lanes are visible within the spiral arms, particularly along the inner edges of the arms, exhibiting more patchy star formation regions. No strong evidence of a recent major merger or significant tidal disturbances is immediately apparent, although subtle asymmetries in the arm structure may suggest minor gravitational interactions.
