This galaxy appears to be in the process of a major merger. It exhibits a disturbed morphology, with an irregular shape indicative of gravitational interactions. There are two primary, luminous components suggesting that this is the result of at least two galaxies colliding. The larger of the two luminous components appears more diffuse than the smaller component. The overall color is yellowish, potentially indicating an older stellar population, although the presence of merging activity may also be triggering some star formation. The faint outer regions suggest a complex tidal structure resulting from the merger. There is no apparent spiral structure, further supporting the interpretation as an actively merging system, disrupting any pre-existing galactic disk.
