This galaxy appears to be in the process of merging with another galaxy, or experiencing a major gravitational disturbance. There are two distinct centers of luminosity. The larger component shows a relatively smooth morphology with an elliptical shape. It has a yellowish-red hue. The smaller component appears more compact and distinctly brighter, with a bluish-white color. The overall shape of the system is significantly perturbed, showing deviations from a regular or undisturbed morphology. This interaction might be triggering or enhancing star formation within at least one of the galactic components, as suggested by the bluer color of the smaller one. It is also possible that one of the components is a quasar.
