The galaxy appears to be a merging system, possibly in the later stages of interaction. Two distinct, bright nuclei are visible, exhibiting a yellowish-orange hue. There is an extended, albeit faint, halo of light surrounding these nuclei, suggesting a shared envelope of stars formed during the merger process. The galaxy's overall shape is somewhat irregular and disturbed, lacking a clear spiral or elliptical structure. Faint tidal features or streams of material are suspected, though the image resolution limits definitive identification. The light from the galaxy is relatively red, indicating a population of older stars and a likely reduced rate of current star formation.
