This galaxy appears to be in the process of a significant merger event. There are two distinct luminous cores visible, suggesting the presence of two galaxies interacting. One core is more circular and appears relatively smooth, while the other exhibits a more elongated and disturbed morphology.

There is evidence of tidal features and disturbed morphology surrounding the two cores. The overall color is a mix of redder hues and bluer tinges, indicating a mix of older stellar populations and potentially ongoing star formation. The overall smoothness suggests a generally evolved system, though the merger process is likely inducing new star formation in localized regions.

The system is not perfectly round, showing deviations in shape. The merging appears to be in a late stage, given the proximity of the cores and the level of disturbance present.
