The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. Two distinct, bright nuclei are visible, suggesting two separate galaxies are in the process of combining. The overall morphology is disturbed, lacking a clear spiral or elliptical structure. There is a diffuse halo of light surrounding the merging nuclei, indicating tidal interactions and the stripping of stars from the parent galaxies. The color is generally yellowish, suggestive of an older stellar population, though some bluer regions exist. The galaxy is quite luminous, implying a substantial mass. The smooth appearance indicates there is ongoing or recent star formation, but is likely occurring at a relatively low rate. The shape is rather round, although highly disrupted by the interaction. There are faint hints of tidal tails or bridges extending from the central region, indicative of the ongoing gravitational interaction. The system appears to be in a late stage of merging as there are two distinct centers.
