The galaxy appears to be in the process of merging, with a possible companion galaxy or strong tidal interaction occurring. The primary galactic structure is generally smooth but shows some evidence of disruption, with an elongated shape. The main body exhibits a yellow to reddish hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. The merger could be triggering regions of star formation within the system, as there appear to be brighter, bluer areas of the main galaxy. Overall, it suggests a massive system with a substantial amount of stellar mass.
