This spiral galaxy is notably asymmetric. The
spiral arms on the south side of the galaxy are chaotic in
appearance, whereas the spiral arms on the north side of the
galaxy are very well-defined. Also, the spiral arms on the south
side of the disk extend twice as far from the galaxy's nucleus
as the spiral arms on the north side. Because of the fragmentary
appearance of some of the spiral arms, this galaxy is classified
as a flocculent galaxy.
