Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 1512 & Dwarf Galaxy NGC 1510 | Hubble
This composite image, created out of two different pointings from Hubble, shows the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1512 (left) and the dwarf galaxy NGC 1510 (right). Both galaxies are about 30 million light-years away from Earth and currently in the process of merging. At the end of this process NGC 1512 will have cannibalized its smaller companion.
