NGC 1097A

NGC 1097A is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Fornax about 62 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 18,000 ly, about 18% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,337 km/s.

Because its light is 62 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1097A as it looked roughly 62 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.
