Gravitational Dance: NGC 1512 and NGC 1510 ultraviolet image from Galaxy Evolution Explorer. show spiral galaxy NGC 1512 sitting slightly northwest of elliptical galaxy NGC overlapping of two tightly wound spiral arm segments makes up the light blue inner ring of NGC 1512. Meanwhile, the galaxy's outer spiral arm is being distorted by strong gravitational interactions with NGC 1510.
