ESO 510-G13 [SEP] constellation
ESO 510-G13
ESO 510-G13 is a spiral galaxy approximately 150 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. The equatorial dust cloud is heavily warped; this may indicate that ESO 510-G13 has interacted with another galaxy. If this is the case, it would provide an excellent illustration of the distortion caused by interacting galaxies, discussed in the article Galaxy formation and evolution under the "Spiral galaxy" heading.
This galaxy was examined by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2001.
