The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merging event, with two distinct luminous regions. The primary region exhibits a smooth, somewhat rounded morphology, indicating a possible spheroidal component. The secondary region presents a more elongated, possibly disk-like structure. There's a visual suggestion of tidal disruption or interaction between the two components, as the shape deviates from a typical elliptical or spiral morphology. Coloration suggests a mixture of stellar populations, with some regions appearing bluer, indicative of younger stars or active star formation, and other areas showing redder hues, consistent with older stellar populations. The overall structure appears significantly disturbed, lending credence to the interaction/merger hypothesis.
