NGC 1510 is a dwarf lenticular galaxy approximately 38 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Horologium.[1] It was discovered by John Herschel on December 4, 1836.[4][5]
Gravitational interaction with NGC 1512
[edit]
NGC 1510 is under the influence of gravitational tidal forces of the large neighbour barred spiral galaxy NGC 1512. The two galaxies are separated by only ~5 arcmin (13.8 kpc),[3] and are in the process of a lengthy merger which has been going on for 400 million years.[6] At the end of this process NGC 1512 will have cannibalised its smaller companion.[7]
