NGC 1531/2: Interacting Galaxies
This image from the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory shows NGC 1531 and NGC 1532, a pair of interacting galaxies. NGC 1531 is the background galaxy with a bright core, while NGC 1532 is a foreground spiral galaxy with dust lanes. They are about 70 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus, and their mutual gravity affects each other's structure.
