The galaxy appears to be in the process of merging or interacting with another galaxy. The system presents as two distinct, elongated luminous regions. One is brighter, more condensed, and demonstrates a slightly yellowish hue. The other, positioned nearby, appears to be less defined, less bright, but is morphologically similar. Both galaxies are elongated and not perfectly round, but slightly cigar shaped. There appears to be some kind of bridge linking the two. There is no distinct spiral structure or disk visible; the light is more diffuse and blended, indicative of a possible early-type galaxy or a system that has undergone significant disruption. The color suggests older stellar populations dominate, though there may be some ongoing star formation in this system. Overall, the galaxy's appearance suggests an ongoing or recent interaction event which has clearly disturbed the morphology of both galaxies.
