| NGC 1532 is an edge-on barred spiral galaxy located approximately 50   million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Eridanus.   It may possess several dwarf companion galaxies. The galaxy is clearly   interacting with one of these galaxies, the amorphous dwarf galaxy NGC   1531. The tidal forces from this interaction have created unusual plumes   above the disk of NGC 1532. NGC 1532 is also an outlying member of the Fornax Cluster. Full res version here     |
