This galaxy appears to be in the process of a significant merger event. It presents with an overall shape that is neither distinctly elliptical nor spiral, and exhibits a perturbed morphology. Two distinct bright nuclei are observed within the galaxy's envelope, indicating the presence of two interacting galaxies. The colour distribution suggests active star formation, with the light emanating predominantly from the central regions and the fainter disk. The redder hue could indicate an aging stellar population or significant dust obscuration. Tidal tails or other obvious signs of strong gravitational disturbance are not prominently visible in this image. The galaxy is relatively compact in size.
