The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction or merger event. A larger, more diffuse component, likely the primary galaxy, exhibits a relatively smooth, concentrated core with a lower surface brightness halo. This main component appears somewhat elliptical in shape. 

A distinct arm-like structure extends from the primary galaxy. This structure is bluer in color, suggesting a higher proportion of young, hot stars compared to the primary galaxy. This arm may be tidal debris resulting from the interaction or a disrupted spiral arm. It's possible this arm is actually a second, smaller galaxy being pulled into the primary.

The presence of the arm-like feature and the overall disturbed morphology of the galaxy suggest that gravitational interactions are playing a dominant role in its current state. It is unlikely to be a classic spiral or elliptical galaxy in a relaxed state.
