The galaxy appears to be a system of two galaxies likely undergoing a merger. The larger galaxy is quite smooth in appearance, with a slightly elongated shape that is neither perfectly round nor extremely elongated. It exhibits a color gradient, shifting from yellowish-orange towards its core to a somewhat bluer hue on its edges, which might indicate differing stellar populations and ongoing star formation in the outer regions. There is evidence of disturbance to the galaxy, as there is a neighboring galaxy also interacting with it. The smaller, secondary galaxy is more compact and has a more distinct bluish color. The brighter blue color of the secondary galaxy possibly suggests a younger stellar population, as well as recent star formation. The presence of tidal features or a shared halo is likely but is difficult to confirm from this image alone.
