COSMIC MESSAGE

Large galaxies often grow by absorbing smaller ones, a process sometimes called galactic cannibalism. This image shows NGC 1532, a distorted spiral galaxy, interacting gravitationally with its dwarf companion, NGC 1531. This pair is located over 50 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus.
