The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger or interaction. There are at least two distinct, luminous components, possibly galactic nuclei. One component is more compact and exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population or significant dust obscuration. The second, larger component is bluer, which indicates recent star formation. A faint tidal tail or stream of material extends away from the main body of the galaxy, supporting the merger hypothesis. The overall shape is irregular and disturbed, not exhibiting a clear spiral or elliptical morphology. Patches of bluer light are scattered throughout the system, potentially areas of enhanced star formation triggered by the interaction. The system is relatively bright, suggesting a significant stellar mass and ongoing star formation activity.
