The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. Two distinct nuclei are visible, both exhibiting a yellowish-orange hue, indicative of an older stellar population and reduced star formation activity in their cores. The morphology suggests a system in a late stage of merging, where the two progenitors are in close proximity. Faint blue-ish tidal features extend outward, likely remnants of disrupted spiral arms or tidal tails created during the interaction. Overall, this galaxy appears to be a luminous merging system at a considerable distance.
