The galaxy appears to be in the process of merging, displaying a somewhat disturbed morphology. It exhibits an elongated structure, with an apparent central core region, surrounded by more diffuse and less defined regions of light. The colors visible suggest a mixture of stellar populations, with the presence of both older, redder stars and possibly some younger, bluer stars, concentrated near the central regions. Patches of what seems to be dust appear within the galaxy. Overall, it appears to be an active galaxy.
