IC 1565

IC 1565 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 536 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 280,000 ly, about 2.8 times the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 11,150 km/s.

Because its light is 536 million ly from home, you are seeing IC 1565 as it looked roughly 536 million years ago. The photons left before that much of history had passed, and are only now reaching us. This distance is estimated from the galaxy's redshift, so the lookback time is approximate.
