IC 835

IC 835 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices about 354 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 78,000 ly, about 78% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 7,747 km/s.

Because its light is 354 million ly from home, you are seeing IC 835 as it looked roughly 354 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.
