The galaxy appears to be undergoing a major merger or strong tidal interaction. There are at least two distinct luminous cores visible, suggesting either two galaxies in the process of merging or a single galaxy with a highly disturbed morphology. The overall shape is elongated, with a cigar-like appearance, likely due to tidal forces. The galaxy exhibits a smooth appearance without prominent spiral arms. The galaxy displays a reddish-yellow hue, indicating a population of older stars with relatively little active star formation. There is a notable disturbance in the structure.
