This galaxy exhibits a morphology consistent with a system undergoing a merger or experiencing significant tidal interactions. The overall structure appears disturbed, lacking a clear, defined spiral or elliptical shape. Several distinct luminous regions are visible, which might be remnants of the original galaxies or areas of enhanced star formation triggered by the interaction. A diffuse halo of light surrounds these brighter regions, suggesting a redistribution of stars and gas due to gravitational forces. There is evidence of bluer colors, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars, as well as redder colors indicative of older populations of stars and dust. The galaxy's elongation suggests a tidal tail or bridge connecting the merging components. The presence of these features suggests significant ongoing star formation.
