The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. Two distinct galactic nuclei are visible, one appearing more luminous and yellow-shifted than the other, with a connecting tidal bridge or arm of stellar material and dust. This suggests a close interaction and gravitational disturbance between the two galaxies. One of the galaxies may exhibit a disk-like feature, while the other seems more spheroid in shape. This interaction indicates a strong probability of active star formation, particularly within the bridge region and possibly triggered in the core regions due to increased gas density. Overall, the system presents as highly disturbed, potentially transitioning towards a final coalesced morphology.
