This galaxy presents an ambiguous morphology. There are two primary components visible: a brighter, more compact, blue-tinted region and a fainter, more diffuse, yellow-tinted region directly adjacent to the former. The spatial separation and distinct color profiles suggest the possibility of either a galaxy merger in progress or a galaxy with a bright central region and an extended disk. The overall round appearance of the system implies a relatively face-on orientation. There is a faint tail or tidal feature that is very suggestive of an ongoing interaction. Further observations are needed to assess velocity information, and higher resolution imaging may be necessary to resolve finer structures and ultimately determine whether we are looking at a merging system or a single galaxy with complex internal dynamics.
