The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction or merger. Morphologically, it presents as a disturbed system with multiple luminous knots or clumps that are visible. There is evidence of tidal features or distorted arms extending outward from a brighter, more centrally concentrated region. The central region shows a mixed color profile, with some areas appearing redder and some areas appearing bluer. These could indicate differences in stellar populations or dust content. The overall shape is irregular, departing significantly from a regular spiral or elliptical morphology. The light distribution is not uniform. A significant fraction of citizen scientists identify this system as a merger. A slightly smaller fraction identify it as undisturbed. The galaxy looks like a system whose dynamic state is currently evolving.
