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
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]
