The galaxy appears to be undergoing a major merging event. Two distinct luminous components are visible, connected by a faint bridge of material. One component exhibits a highly elongated, cigar-shaped morphology with a bright central region, suggesting a significant concentration of older stars. The other component appears more diffuse and disk-like with a bluer hue indicative of younger stars. There is evidence of tidal disruption, with extended, faint streams and distortions visible, particularly around the disk-like component. The overall color of the system suggests a mix of stellar populations, from older, redder stars in the cigar-shaped component to younger, bluer stars in the disk and tidal features. The system does not appear to be particularly smooth, showing signs of significant dynamic interaction.
