The galaxy appears to be undergoing a major merger. Two distinct galactic nuclei are visible, one more luminous and blue-white in color, the other less prominent and with a yellow-orange hue. The blue-white nucleus may indicate a region of higher star formation. The merging process displays significant tidal disturbances, evidenced by the irregular shape and disturbed light distribution. There are no clear spiral arm structures and the galaxy appears largely amorphous. There is a degree of blending of the two galaxies, possibly due to significant star formation, but the two nuclei are mostly independent.
