This galaxy appears to be a complex system likely undergoing a merger or significant interaction with another galaxy. Two distinct galactic bodies are visible. One is elongated and appears to be a disk galaxy, viewed at a near edge-on inclination. There is a possible bulge at its center, although it is not highly pronounced, and hints of a dust lane obscuring part of the disk. The second galaxy appears less defined, possibly due to a more face-on orientation or tidal disruption, and shows a smoother light distribution. There is a bridge of material connecting the two galaxies suggesting tidal forces are actively shaping the structure of the system. The tidal forces are likely triggering bursts of star formation across the merging system and also creating an elevated star formation rate. The overall color suggests moderate star formation activity. This suggests a spiral or irregular morphology with a significant portion of the galaxy's stellar mass residing in relatively young stars. The overall structure indicates a late-stage merger.
