This galaxy exhibits a morphology that appears to be heavily influenced by a merger event. There are two distinct, condensed regions of high luminosity, suggesting two galactic nuclei or centers of high stellar density. The larger one is slightly bluer, while the smaller one is more yellow, possibly indicating different stellar populations and star formation histories. The galaxy's overall shape is irregular, with a significant portion of its light concentrated in the two bright centers and a diffuse, distorted halo extending outwards. There is a notable absence of spiral arm structure or a well-defined disk, indicating a state of disruption and mixing. Tidal features, indicative of gravitational interaction, are not obviously visible in this image, but are still possible. The overall color suggests a mix of both ongoing star formation and older stellar populations.
