The galaxy presents as a barred spiral with moderate inclination to our line of sight. A central bulge is evident, contributing significantly to the overall luminosity. The disk is clearly resolved, with identifiable spiral arms exhibiting a flocculent structure. Star formation appears to be ongoing within the arms, indicated by the presence of blue knots consistent with populations of young, hot stars. There are some disturbances that may be evidence of a minor merger event or tidal interactions with another galaxy. The redder color of the central bulge suggests an older stellar population dominates that region, whereas bluer regions in the arms signify younger populations. The galaxy is elongated in shape, with its major axis oriented approximately horizontally in the image frame. Dust lanes are subtly visible, partially obscuring starlight within the spiral arms. Overall, the galaxy shows a combination of evolved and actively star-forming regions, indicative of a complex evolutionary history.
