The galaxy exhibits an elongated morphology, appearing significantly disturbed. The central region shows a bright, somewhat rounded core. A diffuse, extended structure emanates from this core, displaying a noticeable blueish tint, suggestive of active star formation regions. This extended structure appears asymmetric, indicating possible interactions with other galaxies or internal disruptions. A distinct dust lane or dark region is not readily apparent, however, some mottled features can be seen near the bottom which could be indicative of gas and dust. The color profile transitions from a relatively yellow/white center to a bluer, more diffuse outer region. This color gradient supports the likelihood of ongoing star formation within the extended features. Overall, this galaxy seems to be undergoing a significant evolutionary event potentially related to a merger.
