The object appears to be a pair of interacting spiral galaxies. The larger of the two exhibits a well-defined spiral structure with tightly wound arms emanating from a moderately sized central bulge. Star formation, indicated by the blue coloration, is evident within the spiral arms. The smaller galaxy also shows spiral structure but is more compact and appears to be undergoing a merger. A bar may exist within the larger galaxy but this feature may be disrupted by the interaction between the two galaxies. There is evidence of tidal disturbances affecting the morphology of both galaxies, suggesting a close gravitational interaction.
