This galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction or merging event. The primary galactic body exhibits a somewhat smooth, elliptical morphology, with a concentrated central bulge that displays a yellowish hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population. Emanating from one side is a distinct, elongated feature characterized by a bluer color. This elongated feature could potentially be a tidal tail of stars and gas, a disrupted spiral arm, or a smaller galaxy in the process of merging. The asymmetry and the presence of the bluer component suggest ongoing or recent star formation within the interacting region. The overall structure is complex and disturbed, indicating a non-equilibrium state. There may be some distortions in the main body of the galaxy that lend it a slightly cigar-like shape.
