This galaxy appears to be in the process of a significant merger or interaction. There are two distinct, bright components. The western component exhibits a more orange-red hue, suggesting an older stellar population, and it possesses a largely spheroidal shape. The eastern component displays a more yellowish-white color, which indicates the presence of younger, hotter stars, and it is less defined in shape, with hints of possible tidal features extending outward. The overall morphology suggests a system that is dynamically disturbed, showing signs of ongoing gravitational interaction and potential star formation triggered by the merger event. It is plausible that the differing colors are indicative of distinct galaxy types colliding. The light distribution is not uniform, and the tidal tails or plumes suggest disruption and the exchange of material between the merging components.
