This galaxy appears to be in the process of merging with another galaxy. One distinct, though somewhat blurred, bright central region is apparent, with what looks to be a second similar central brightness nearby. These cores seem connected by fainter tidal bridges, with the whole structure appearing elongated. The overall color is relatively blue, with a suggestion of some patchy star formation. There are no definitive spiral arms or a well-defined disk, but the object does not appear to be perfectly spherical.
