The galaxy appears to be in the process of merging or undergoing a significant tidal interaction. There are two distinct luminous cores visible, suggesting the presence of two galaxies that are close in proximity. The larger of the two appears more diffuse with an extended, somewhat irregular shape. The smaller one looks to be much more compact and less luminous. There is evidence of disturbance within the system, indicated by the asymmetric distribution of light around the central regions. The overall color of the galaxy is yellowish, suggesting a population of older stars, although the hint of bluer tinges indicate some areas of active star formation.
