IC 1620

IC 1620 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 533 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 150,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 11,401 km/s.

Because its light is 533 million ly from home, you are seeing IC 1620 as it looked roughly 533 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.
