The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. The light distribution suggests a complex structure with substantial tidal distortions. Two distinct, bright nuclei are visible, indicating the presence of two progenitor galaxies in the process of coalescing. The overall shape is elongated, with a noticeable extension of stellar material between and around the two nuclei, suggestive of tidal tails or bridges formed by gravitational interactions. The color gradient appears relatively uniform across the visible structure, hinting at a well-mixed stellar population throughout the interacting system, though the nuclei exhibit slightly redder hues. The high degree of disruption to the original morphologies of the galaxies suggests that this is a relatively advanced stage of merging, but not yet completely relaxed into a single system.
