This galaxy appears to be undergoing a major merger event. The overall form is disturbed, lacking a clear spiral or elliptical structure. Two distinct bright nuclei are visible, suggesting the presence of two galaxies in close interaction. There appears to be one nucleus that is larger than the other. Diffuse light extends outwards from both nuclei, forming a halo-like structure that suggests tidal interactions and the stripping of stellar material. Color variations within the galaxy indicate differing stellar populations, possibly due to recent star formation triggered by the merger. The general color is blue, hinting at a younger stellar population. The merging system presents as somewhat elongated with some areas that are smooth and other areas with some texture.
