This galaxy appears to be in the process of merging. Two distinct luminous cores are visible, suggesting two separate galactic nuclei in close proximity. The overall morphology is somewhat smooth, but there are indications of tidal disturbances or interactions between the two galactic components. The shape is generally rounded but with an irregular form consistent with gravitational interaction. There is no discernible disk structure. Based on color, the light is dominated by blue, implying either a blue-shifted galaxy or ongoing star formation in one or both cores. It is likely that the galaxy is in a relatively late stage of merging, although the cores are still distinctly visible.
