Warped Galaxy

ESO 510-G13 Warped Galaxy 150 million light years away. The warping was caused more than a billion years ago by gravitation from another passing galaxy, perhaps one of the two seen nearby. Back out to see them. They are also now interacting gravitationally.

Pic is Mount Diablo, California; it is also the point setting for my snapshot default, because it is one of the most meaningful geographic places in the world.

Both the pair of galaxies to the northwest and the pair of galaxies to the southwest show sign of gravitational distortion, in their distended arms.
