The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, observed at an angle that is neither face-on nor edge-on. There is a substantial central bulge which appears yellow in color. Fainter spiral arms extend from the central bulge. The arms show evidence of ongoing star formation, with some regions appearing slightly bluer, although these regions are subdued. The galaxy is moderately sized, though the central bulge seems to have a larger contribution to the overall luminosity of the galaxy. The spiral arms appear somewhat tightly wound. There are no obvious signs of a major merger, though some minor disturbances in the disk might be present. A faint, extended halo may also be present. There are no apparent signs of a strong bar structure bisecting the central bulge.
