IC 4367

IC 4367

IC 4367 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Centaurus about 192 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 92,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 4,110 km/s.

Because its light is 192 million ly from home, you are seeing IC 4367 as it looked roughly 192 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.
