The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, with a hint of asymmetry. The central region exhibits a concentrated yellowish-white hue, suggesting a relatively older stellar population in that area. There is an extended, less concentrated distribution of light surrounding the core, with a bluish tint in the outskirts indicating areas of potential younger star formation. Two distinct bright areas are visible near the center, which could potentially be the two nuclei of a merging system or regions of particularly intense star formation. There appears to be some distortion in the overall shape and a suggestion of tidal features, pointing toward a gravitational interaction. Based on these visual cues, a galaxy merger in progress or a recent merger event could be a viable hypothesis.
