This galaxy appears to be a major merger in progress. Two distinct nuclei are visible, both displaying a yellow-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. There is significant tidal disruption evident, with faint extensions of light emanating from the central region of the galaxy. The overall morphology is highly irregular, lacking a defined spiral or elliptical structure. There are two prominent regions that may show elevated levels of star formation, as indicated by the brighter regions of the two centers. The mass and star formation rate indicates a massive galaxy with moderate star formation activity. The estimated redshift indicates that we are observing this merger at a considerable distance.
