This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed at a high inclination. The central bulge appears relatively prominent and elongated, exhibiting a yellowish-orange hue. Fainter, bluish spiral arms extend from the bulge and are somewhat tightly wound. The arms show a degree of patchiness, suggesting regions of ongoing star formation. There is no obvious dust lane visible. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed with no signs of a major merger, though there may be some evidence of minor interactions.
