This galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. It has a distorted morphology, showing evidence of tidal interactions. The main body of the galaxy is relatively smooth with a mostly round, centralized shape, but there is significant disruption present in the form of two distinct, bright lobes of star formation regions appearing in a teal-blue color. The color of the lobes indicates ongoing or recent star formation. One notable feature is the presence of two or three distinct nuclei or areas of concentrated light within the galaxy, suggesting the merging of multiple galaxies or distinct components. This is causing the galaxy to have disturbed features, such as tails or bridges of material extending away from the main body. These likely represent tidal debris resulting from gravitational interactions. There are hints of underlying spiral structure, but the distortion makes it difficult to determine the classification. Overall, this galaxy showcases a dynamic system of interacting galaxies with a mix of mature stellar populations and active star formation.
