NGC 1510 is under the influence of gravitational tidal forces of the large neighbour barred spiral galaxyNGC 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]
