The galaxy presents as an interacting system, possibly in the early stages of a merger. Two distinct galactic nuclei are visible, each embedded within a diffuse halo of stars. The overall morphology is disturbed, showing evidence of gravitational interaction between the two components. One galactic nucleus is more centrally concentrated and appears redder in color, potentially indicating an older stellar population and/or significant dust obscuration. The other nucleus is slightly more diffuse and exhibits a bluer tint, which may suggest ongoing or recent star formation activity. The overall shape of the system is elongated, appearing cigar-shaped, further indicating the presence of tidal forces and gravitational disruption. While some areas appear relatively smooth, there are also indications of fainter features that could be tidal tails or bridges of material connecting the two galaxies. These structures may be indicative of gas and stars being stripped from the galaxies during the merger process.
