This galaxy exhibits a generally smooth morphology with indications of a complex structure. The central region displays a concentrated, bright core, suggesting a significant density of stars or potentially an active galactic nucleus. Extensions from this central region hint at tidal tails or disturbed spiral arms. The color gradient across the galaxy reveals spatial variation in stellar populations; the bluer hues in the center indicate younger, hotter stars are forming. Meanwhile, the presence of redder tones at the edges and on the edges of each distinct section of the core may indicate a population of older, redder stars or the presence of dust obscuring bluer light. Overall, the appearance suggests an ongoing or recent interaction or merger event, which is evident from the distorted shape and lack of a clear, well-defined structure.
