IC 2565

IC 2565 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Leo Minor about 695 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 140,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 15,019 km/s.

Because its light is 695 million ly from home, you are seeing IC 2565 as it looked roughly 695 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.
